# Camera Calibration

## Summary

SpatialExplorer allows for Camera Calibration through the use of the images collected during the mission. &#x20;

CameraSnap has two methods of calibration: Unimodal and Crossmodal, both of which require a Pro License. &#x20;

## Details&#x20;

### **Unimodal**&#x20;

[Unimodal camera calibration](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-desktop/post-processing/workflow-kk/camera-snap/camerasnap/unimodal-calibration) analyzes the overlapping images collected and loaded into the SpatialExplorer project

It uses aerial triangulation algorithms to calculate intrinsic and extrinsic camera values as well as a fine tuned lens distortion model. &#x20;

### **Crossmodal**

[Crossmodal camera calibration](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-desktop/post-processing/workflow-kk/camera-snap/camerasnap/crossmodal) combines the unimodal method with direct feedback from the point cloud loaded into the project to utilize additional structural and projection distance information. &#x20;

Crossmodal is far more processing intensive, but adds project-specific understanding which can aid the camera calibration. &#x20;
