How to perform Pose estimation for 3D object rendering in Android

I am developing a simple AR application which renders a 3D image on top of camera view. I could successfully implement that in Windows 7.I used OpenCv's native POSE estimation functions which internally uses POSIT algorithm, so as to give Translation, Rotation matrix, which could be applied on the the 3D modal.

I want to implement the same functionality in an Android application. The problem I am facing is, one of the arguments to the POSE estimation function is the Camera intrinsic and distortion parameters. Which i am not able to find out. I tried studying various AR platforms - AandAR, ARToolKit etc. But after reverse engineering their Sources, i could get to any conclusion about usage of these in POSE estimation.

Please suggest me an appropriate method for POSE estimation (if it involves camera distortion parameters, then how would i determine it) and hence 3D object rendering over camera view in an Android application
