Icarus (Interactive Calibration And Reconstruction from Image Sequences) was software developed by the Advanced Interfaces Group at Manchester University for the purpose of calibrating camera footage, tracking feature points and (optionally) correcting lens distortion in the footage.

Overview
Written by Simon Gibson, Jon Cook, Toby Howard, Roger Hubbold and Dan Oram, Icarus contained three distinct modules for calibrating, tracking and calculating lens distortion. Options to remove lens distortion were also incorporated, and as it was a (relatively) simple piece of coding to stabilise the footage after tracking, this feature was added.

The software was licenced to The Pixel Farm
