Summary

Expand camera intrinsics validation so health checks reject calibration data that Camera nodes and downstream consumers cannot safely use.

Validation now requires:

  • An exact, non-ragged 3×3 matrix
  • Finite values
  • Positive fx and fy
  • Zero lower-triangular elements
  • A homogeneous scale of 1
  • Valid, nonzero calibration dimensions representable by CameraInfo

The same validation is now applied when reading and setting intrinsics, preventing inconsistent calibration data from entering through the setter.

Principal points outside the image and an optional skew term remain supported to avoid rejecting unusual but valid calibrations.

Testing

  • Added unit coverage for malformed, non-finite, noncanonical, and valid unusual matrices
  • calibration_handler_test: 68 test cases and 1,541 assertions passed
  • Full on-host suite: 34/34 tests passed
  • Verified checked-in calibration JSON files and the holistic recording’s camera_info.json against the new rules

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation of camera calibration data, including intrinsic matrices and frame dimensions.
    • Invalid, malformed, singular, non-finite, negative, or structurally incorrect calibration values are now rejected.
    • Valid skewed intrinsic matrices continue to be accepted.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for calibration validation across default and manually configured camera settings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Calibration handling now applies centralized validation to intrinsic matrices and camera dimensions. Tests cover malformed, non-finite, singular, negative, structurally invalid, and valid skewed matrices across default and set operations.

Changes

Calibration validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralized intrinsic-matrix validation
include/depthai/utility/matrixOps.hpp, src/utility/matrixOps.cpp, src/device/CalibrationHandler.cpp, tests/src/onhost_tests/calibration_handler_test.cpp
Adds a shared validator for matrix shape, finite values, focal lengths, structure, and accepted skew. Tests cover invalid and valid matrices.
Resolution and setter integration
src/device/CalibrationHandler.cpp, tests/src/onhost_tests/calibration_handler_test.cpp
Validates positive, integral, finite, and uint16_t-bounded dimensions. Applies the checks to default and setCameraIntrinsics operations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8ad2c

The public calibration setter can still convert invalid floating-point dimensions before validation, which may truncate inputs or trigger undefined behavior; the PR should not merge until validation occurs before conversion.

Poem

A rabbit checks each matrix square,
With careful paws and finite air.
Skew may stay, but flaws must flee,
Dimensions fit their boundary.
Calibration hops along!

I kept the check because CameraInfo stores width and height as uint16_t, so larger values could be silently truncated. Im not sure, please check it out @aljazkonec1
