"""
This file houses the camera object, which is used to perform the calibrations.
The camera object houses all the calibration images as attributes in two lists:
    - imgs (macbeth charts)
    - imgs_alsc (alsc correction images)
Various calibrations are methods of the camera object, and the output is stored
in a dictionary called self.json.
Once all the caibration has been completed, the Camera.json is written into a
json file.
The camera object initialises its json dictionary by reading from a pre-written
blank json file. This has been done to avoid reproducing the entire json file
in the code here, thereby avoiding unecessary clutter.
