3%Main calibration function. Computes the intrinsic andextrinsic parameters.
4%Runs as a script.
5%
6%INPUT: x_1,x_2,x_3,...: Feature locations on the images
7%       X_1,X_2,X_3,...: Corresponding grid coordinates
8%
9%OUTPUT: fc: Camera focal length
10%        cc: Principal point coordinates
11%        alpha_c: Skew coefficient
12%        kc: Distortion coefficients
13%        KK: The camera matrix (containing fc and cc)
14%        omc_1,omc_2,omc_3,...: 3D rotation vectors attached to the grid positions in space
15%        Tc_1,Tc_2,Tc_3,...: 3D translation vectors attached to the grid positions in space
16%        Rc_1,Rc_2,Rc_3,...: 3D rotation matrices corresponding to the omc vectors
17%
18%Method: Minimizes the pixel reprojection error in the least squares sense over the intrinsic
19%        camera parameters, and the extrinsic parameters (3D locations of the grids in space)
20%
21%Note: If the intrinsic camera parameters (fc, cc, kc) do not exist before, they are initialized through
22%      the function init_intrinsic_param.m. Otherwise, the variables in memory are used as initial guesses.
23%
24%Note: The row vector active_images consists of zeros and ones. To deactivate an image, set the
25%      corresponding entry in the active_images vector to zero.
26%
27%VERY IMPORTANT: This function works for 2D and 3D calibration rigs, except for init_intrinsic_param.m
28%that is so far implemented to work only with 2D rigs.
29%In the future, a more general function will be there.
30%For now, if using a 3D calibration rig, quick_init is set to 1 for an easy initialization of the focal length
