homography.ts: 3x3 matrix primitives (multiply, invert, apply, linear
and DLT solvers) plus warp-grid subdivision helpers. transform.ts:
keypointgui-style transform models (translation / rigid / similarity /
affine / homography) that all estimate to a plain Matrix3, with
Similarity as the single shared default. CameraCalibrationStore: the
persistence core for camera-rig calibration -- per-pair homographies,
correspondences, transform types, and producer provenance, with
hydrate() from dataset meta, dirty tracking, and the portable
calibration.json round trip (toCalibrationJson / loadCalibrationText).

Interactive creation (point picking, fitting, overlay preview) is not
part of this branch; it layers on top in the Manual Alignment GUI.

Persist cameraHomographies / cameraCorrespondences /
cameraTransformTypes / cameraCalibrationSource in dataset meta on both
platforms (server allowlist + desktop meta merge), and load
calibrations produced externally (e.g. by kamera) at import time: the
multicam import dialog gains a per-camera transform-file picker, the
desktop backend parses DIVE calibration .json pairs
(fromCalibrationPairs / toCalibrationPairs) and auto-discovers a
calibration.json in the import parent folder, and saveMetadata writes
the portable calibration.json alongside the project so the calibration
travels with the dataset.

When every camera resolves a transform into the reference camera's
space (first camera in display order, composed through the calibration
pair graph), an Align button warps each pane's imagery and annotations
into that shared space at draw time -- stored geometry always stays
native per camera. Includes: AlignedViewStore + resolution wiring in
the Viewer; AlignedImageLayer (sub-quad warped imagery with seam
overlap); display-transform routing through every annotation layer;
transform-aware linked pan/zoom (useAlignedNavigation/useLinkedViewers,
with the raw screen-delta camera sync retired once transforms exist);
drawing/editing on any camera with edits mapped back through the
inverse; and a continuous cross-camera mirror that re-projects every
geometry edit onto all other calibrated cameras.

Importing single-camera annotations into a calibrated multicam dataset
now offers an "Import to all cameras" checkbox: after the import lands
on the active camera, every track is copied onto each other camera
through the camera-to-camera homographies (bounds, rotated bounds, and
GeoJSON geometry), then saved. Unlike the Align View continuous mirror
this is a data import, so confidence pairs and track/feature attributes
are copied too. Gated on the whole rig resolving to the reference
(alignedView.available), independent of the display toggle.

The dataset's saved calibration moves from a single all-pairs
calibration.json to one calibration_<camera>.json per non-reference
camera (a pair not touching the reference files under its right
camera), matching the per-camera files users already handle from
kamera. File names are discovery/provenance only: the pair's left/right
names inside each file body stay authoritative, so a misnamed or copied
file can never rebind a transform to the wrong camera. The legacy
single file is still read and is migrated (rewritten per-camera, then
removed) on the next save; stale per-camera files are cleaned up so the
on-disk set always mirrors the saved calibration.

Per-file producer stamps are compared when the set is merged (project
load and import seeding): agreement keeps the stamp, disagreement
becomes a { mixed: true, files: {...} } composite that the Align View
tooltip surfaces as a mixed-generation warning instead of composing
silently. A save never writes the composite into per-camera files --
that would read back as a unanimous rig.

Parent-folder transform discovery now returns every self-identified
calibration file (calibration.json first, then per-camera files), and
the multicam import dialog auto-attaches calibration_<camera>.json to
its matching camera slot. Files written by DIVE now also self-identify
with type: dive-camera-calibration so discovery recognizes them.

The per-camera calibration_<camera>.json files are now the only on-disk
form: the single all-pairs calibration.json is no longer read, migrated,
or given priority during import discovery. The Export menu gains explicit
calibration export -- one file per calibrated camera, or all of them
zipped -- built from the same per-camera grouping the save path uses, and
the multicam Everything zip now carries the files too. Exports resolve
the calibration the same way loading does (standalone files first, the
import-time meta seed otherwise) and never stamp a file with a mixed
composite source.

Calibration export is now strictly per-camera -- one
calibration_<camera>.json at a time, no all-cameras zip -- and works on
both platforms: desktop writes through the backend as before, web builds
the file client-side from the dataset meta and downloads it. The Import
menu gains a matching per-dataset calibration import (same workflow as
annotation import): pairs the file names replace the current ones, other
cameras' pairs are kept, so per-camera files can be imported one at a
time to assemble a rig; the viewer store rehydrates immediately so the
Align View picks up the new transforms without a reload. Grouping and
merge semantics live in a new shared vue-media-annotator module used by
the desktop backend, both Export menus, and both import paths, so listed
cameras, written files, and merge behavior cannot drift between
platforms. Web needs no server changes: the calibration meta fields were
already allowlisted.

The Import and Export buttons now advertise "Supplementary Data" in
their hover tooltips instead of "Annotation Data", since both menus
carry calibrations as well. The Import Calibration blurb shrinks to one
line. The warp-on-import checkbox moves out of the active-camera alert
to sit beside Overwrite as "Warp to All", always visible on multicam
datasets and greyed out until the whole rig resolves, with an
"N/M cameras calibrated" hint. The viewer publishes that count into
AlignedViewStore from the same computation as the Align View tooltip,
so the two indicators can never disagree.

The generic Import Calibration button becomes one button per
non-reference camera pair ("Import eo -> ir"), each scoped to its
camera: only the file's pairs naming that camera are taken, they
replace that camera's current pairs, and other cameras' pairs are
kept -- so per-camera files assemble a rig one at a time and a
multi-pair file pointed at one camera doesn't drag the rest along.
Scoping to a camera the file doesn't name refuses with a clear error.
Buttons are green when the camera already has a calibration and yellow
when it doesn't, and importing onto an existing one asks for
confirmation before replacing it, so no separate overwrite toggle is
needed. The camera filtering and pair/camera summary live in the
shared calibration-file module so desktop and web behave identically.

…ormat

"Calibration" collided with the pre-existing stereo camera file (an
intrinsic/extrinsic camera model for the measurement pipeline), and in
computer vision this process is image registration, so the feature says
registration everywhere: "Import Registration" / "Registration: <camera>"
menu sections, importCameraRegistration and exportCameraRegistration API
members and IPC channels, registrationProgress ("N/M cameras registered")
published on the aligned-view store, matching error messages, the
internals (CameraRegistrationStore, cameraRegistrationFiles, and the
load/merge/build helpers), and the wire format: the dataset meta field is
cameraRegistrationSource, renamed through the server models, allowlist,
and tests alongside the RegistrationSource type and stamp helpers. Files
are named <camera>_to_<reference>_registration.json and self-identify as
dive-camera-registration: each file states the destination of the mapping
it carries (ir_to_eo_registration.json registers ir onto eo), making the
reference-camera rule -- first camera in display order -- legible from
the artifacts themselves. The name scheme contains neither "calibration"
nor "cal", so these files can no longer be mis-suggested as stereo camera
files by the stereo parent-folder discovery heuristic. The Align View
keeps its name (registration is the data and process; the Align View is
the display mode that renders registered imagery), and the stereo
camera-file surfaces are untouched.
