| This folder is for the camera calibration feature in "Camera Capture" popup, |
| which undistort the captured images by using OpenCV's calibration feature. |
| |
| ### How to calibrate camera |
| |
| 1. Prepare the checkerboard |
| |
| - Print out "checkerboard.tif" to A4 sized paper. |
| - It would be better to paste the checkerboard pattern on some flat panel like cardboard. |
| |
| 2. Capture the pattern |
| |
| - In the Camera Capture popup, enable "Camera Calibration" box. |
| - Click "Start calibration". |
| - Take 10 snapshots of the checkerboard pattern in various positions and angles. |
| - Once the capturing is done, calibration will be automatically applied. |
| |
| 3. Export & load calibration settings |
| |
| - Calibration settings will be saved under this folder with name |
| "[MACHINENAME]_[CAMERANAME]_[RESOLUTION].xml" |
| - The settings file will be overwritten after finishing the new calibration. |
| - You can export the file for backup, or load it afterwards. |
