[INSTRM-1464] Transform camera pixels to zenith, and thence to mm

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 08:14:22 +0000

It turns out that the camera distortion as a function of altitude/insrot (at least for the Canon MCS camera) is significantly simpler in pixels than in mm, permitting a good 5-parameter fit (dx, dy, theta, scale, scale2) whereas the transform directly to mm is more complicated, presumably due to the complexity of the pixel -> mm transform.

We should therefore try first using the fiducials to fit the distorted camera image, then transform to mm. Please make changes in the PfiTransform code to permit this.
