Camera Extrinsics

The 6-DOF pose (rotation + translation) of a camera relative to a reference frame — typically the robot base or world frame. Extrinsic calibration is required for hand-eye coordination: the robot must know where each camera is to transform visual observations into actionable coordinates. Eye-in-hand and eye-to-hand are the two standard configurations.
