To calculate world coordinates from screen coordinates with OpenCV
I have calculated the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera with OpenCV.
Now, I want to calculate world coordinates (x,y,z) from screen coordinates (u,v).
How I do this?
N.B. as I use the kinect, I already know the z coordinate.
Any help…
