How I feel whenever I read old papers https://glammr.us/@overholt/112694786223550746
Debugging 3D calibration... had weird issues where it produced homographies with det(H) < 0 which totally messed up the rotation and translation (you'd have a couple calibration poses that have z < 0, so 'behind the camera' or 'behind the projector' and reflected, which I guess makes mathematical sense but not physical sense lol). I just set H = -H and then it fixed everything
All computer vision stuff is like
Step 1. Do some linear algebra that makes logical sense, uses a rational scientific model of how we believe the world works, looks reasonable
Step 2. The result of Step 1 is basically garbage. Feed it into a nonlinear optimizer to make it actually good
stubbornly calling it `rotationVectorToRotationMatrix` instead of `Rodrigues`
Also wondering if this technique would help with RFID stuff -- I hadn't realized that there is this same problem of discrete ambiguity even in visual marker tracking https://social.omar.website/@omar/statuses/01J0F5H0GW4HMG3G6B5RR0TQ9T
Been reading about "Virtual Visual Servoing" http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2002_eurographics_marchand.pdf -- maybe the most convoluted way to explain a smoothing/filtering algorithm (?) that I've seen lol
