VINS中没有直接使用opencv的去畸变函数，而是自己编写了迭代函数完成去畸变操作，主要是为了加快去畸变计算速度
本文对二者的结果精度和耗时进行了对比

1 去畸变原理

opencv去畸变操作由cv::undistortPoints实现
VINS去畸变由PinholeCamera::liftProjective实现（以针孔相机为例）

二者均采用了迭代求解，通过多次迭代逼近真值。其中cv::undistortPoints方法中默认迭代5次，并计算每次重投影误差是否小于阈值，VINS去畸变方法只设置了迭代8次。
二者均输入像素坐标，输出归一化坐标。

2.1 OpenCV去畸变

opencv去畸变操作由cv::undistortPoints实现，代码在opencv-3.4.13/modules/imgproc/src
undistortPoints首先处理了输入参数，主要实现部分调用cvUndistortPointsInternal

void undistortPoints( InputArray _src, OutputArray _dst,InputArray _cameraMatrix, InputArray _distCoeffs,InputArray _Rmat, InputArray _Pmat, TermCriteria criteria)

void undistortPoints( InputArray _src, OutputArray _dst,InputArray _cameraMatrix,InputArray _distCoeffs,InputArray _Rmat,InputArray _Pmat,TermCriteria criteria)
{Mat src = _src.getMat(), cameraMatrix = _cameraMatrix.getMat();Mat distCoeffs = _distCoeffs.getMat(), R = _Rmat.getMat(), P = _Pmat.getMat();int npoints = src.checkVector(2), depth = src.depth();if (npoints < 0)src = src.t();npoints = src.checkVector(2);CV_Assert(npoints >= 0 && src.isContinuous() && (depth == CV_32F || depth == CV_64F));if (src.cols == 2)src = src.reshape(2);_dst.create(npoints, 1, CV_MAKETYPE(depth, 2), -1, true);Mat dst = _dst.getMat();CvMat _csrc = cvMat(src), _cdst = cvMat(dst), _ccameraMatrix = cvMat(cameraMatrix);CvMat matR, matP, _cdistCoeffs, *pR=0, *pP=0, *pD=0;if( !R.empty() )pR = &(matR = cvMat(R));if( !P.empty() )pP = &(matP = cvMat(P));if( !distCoeffs.empty() )pD = &(_cdistCoeffs = cvMat(distCoeffs));cvUndistortPointsInternal(&_csrc, &_cdst, &_ccameraMatrix, pD, pR, pP, criteria);
}

输出结果

给出了每个观测点的平均去畸变耗时和像素坐标系下的重投影误差。
VINS所采用的去畸变算法耗时更少，重投影误差平均值更小，opencv方法与其相差一个数量级。
