Dear all,

thanks for your amazing work and effort on creating this dataset! I have a questions regarding the calibration.

What is the difference between ‘aria01.vrs’ and ‘aria01\_noimagestream.vrs’ calibration files? They have different principal point and focal length, but to my understanding the noimagestream-file should be the same but without image data.

I only get the correct undistorted aria rgb images with aria01.vrs, but would like to avoid downloading all vrs files with images if that is not necessary.

Best,

Here’s an example for take cmu\_bike01\_2:

```auto

Hi all,

pushing this up since I am still facing the same problem even with v2 vrs files. It’s not clear why the calibration parameters in `aria01.vrs` and `aria01_noimagestreams.vrs` are not the same? My understanding is that the only difference is the image steam data being included or not included.

Yet, e.g. for cmu\_bike18\_6 the vrs file contains `principal point: [713.877, 710.952], focal length: [611.282, 611.282]` for aria01 and `principal point: [1460.25, 1454.4], focal length: [1222.56, 1222.56]` for aria01\_noimagestreams.

Here’s how I get the calibration parameters:

```auto
import os 
from projectaria_tools.core import data_provider

for take_name in ["cmu_bike01_2", "cmu_soccer12_2", "cmu_bike18_6"]:
    aria_dir = os.path.join(release_dir, f"takes/{take_name}")
    for vrs_version in [f"aria01.vrs", f"aria01_noimagestreams.vrs"]:
        aria_path = os.path.join(aria_dir, vrs_version)
        provider = data_provider.create_vrs_data_provider(aria_path)
        calib = provider.get_device_calibration().get_camera_calib("camera-rgb")
        print(take_name, calib)

```
