Integrated literate programming for structured light camera calibration

Literate programming is a concept initially conceived by Professor Donald Knuth who had applied it in practice while developing his TEX formatting system. In my integrated approach I advocate the concept of literate programming in a single book, i.e. all levels of a created application (including the descriptions of new algorithms) are joined together with all source codes in one PDF document, which is created from a tree of Latex documents. The code granularity can be of any detail. Even a single line of code is possible, surrounded by necessary comments, if needed. Codes can be composed sequentially and hierarchically. The presented paper will discuss advantages of the proposed programming methodology for developing software prototypes of applications within digital media one the example of calibration algorithms for a structured light camera system.
