This example demonstrates how to compute the intrinsic camera parameters for a fisheye camera lens. Fisheye lenses exhibit significantly more distortion than regular lenses with a more narrow field of view. Its not unusual for a fisheye lens to have a FOV of 185 degrees. The calibration process is very similar to regular cameras. A planar calibration target is shown at different angles across the entire field of view. The main difference is the camera model.

/**
 * Example of how to calibrate a single (monocular) fisheye camera using a high level interface. This example
 * for the most part follows the same routine as {@link ExampleCalibrateMonocular}. Fisheye cameras tend to require
 * more images to properly calibrate. Often people will use larger calibration targets too that are easier to
 * see at a distance and cover more of the fisheye's camera large FOV.
