Hi,
Thank you for the nice library, I was trying to calibrate 5 cameras. The result looks good in Matlab. However, I noticed that the intrinsic matrix is like this:
       2284.9      -1.0648      -937.84
  -2.8422e-14      -2285.2      -558.91
  -5.5511e-17            0           -1

The third column is negative rather than positive. Also, the camera seems to be looking z- direction instead of z+ direction, making it inconsistent with OpenCV. Is it intended, or was there an error?

Thanks!

Oh, this can be solved by changing the sign of the third column of intrinsic matrix and the third row of the extrinsic matrix. 

But the 3-d coordinate system is a left hand system, is it by design?
