It motivates near-IR operation at night with LEDs to avoid blinding drivers. The build uses IR-corrected long focal-length lenses (35 mm, 25 mm, and 16 mm) and measures intrinsic parameters with Image Engineering’s GEOCAL, using a pinhole model with K1 to K3 and P1 to P2 distortion coefficients. It describes removing the camera’s near-IR filter, then compensating for focal-plane shift by sanding C-mount threads by about 0.5 mm, mounting six cameras on a 52-inch bar with baselines from 0.5 to 0.8 m. It concludes with calibration steps for extrinsics, synchronization, and testing across day and night data collection. https://www.nodarsensor.com/hdk"}
