\subsection{Camera calibration}
The camera calibration is needed for the client during the reconstruction
of the 3D skeleton. The calibration consists in two steps :
\begin{enumerate}
\item the \textbf{internal calibration} which is the estimation of the
instrinsic parameters of the camera (such as the focal length, or the
principal point)
\item the \textbf{external calibration} which is the estimation of the
extrinsic parameters (the position of the camera from the chessboard)
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Internal calibration}
The internal calibration is based on a program that we completed during
a lesson last semester. By detecting chessboards in numerous positions
of the camera, we are able to estimate the intrinsic parameters. This
programs use as input a video of a chessboard where the position of
camera changes, and it captures some frames where the chessboard is
detected. With these pictures, we estimate the intrinsic parameters.
\subsubsection{External calibration}
For the external calibration, we wrote a program that uses an
estimation of the homography to compute the extrinsical parameters of
the camera. One should note that what we call the \emph{extrinsical
parameters} are the ones that convert points from the reference of the
chessboard to the reference of the camera.
