##Introduction Kalibr is a toolbox that solves the following calibration problems:

1. Multiple camera calibration: intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of a camera-systems with non-globally shared overlapping fields of view
2. Camera-IMU calibration: spatial and temporal calibration of an IMU w.r.t a camera-system

To make the calibration task more convenient and reproducible the following tools are available:

1. camera focus: tool to set the camera focus in a reproducible way
2. calibration validator: validation tool that computes the reprojection error statistics of the calibrated camera-system on live ROS image streams
