Simple Static Calibration

The Static Calibration tool is to provide a quick and easy way to quickly align a static camera that does not move or do any pan/tilt/roll. At the end of this calibration, the camera would be placed relative to the calibration screen.

*There will be NO lens profile or alignment profile generated from this tool after the calibration.
All coordinates as well as all intrinsic (distortion) values will be set directly within the camera object.

Prerequisites

• At least one calibration screen or by using a more complex wall, a multiscreen in real life and in SP.
• Media input with the camera feed into SP.

Setup

If you have all the components ready as mentioned in the prerequisites section, you can set up the project to be ready for the Tracking Alignment.

1. Under the camera object – Tools, add a Calibration – Static Calibration
2. click on the “Image Calibration” button to open up the Image Calibration Wizard

Start Capturing

*Only 1 image is required for this calibration tool.

1. Do the standard setup of selecting your image provider for your camera feed and choosing the calibration screen that will be used to position the camera
2. To capture an image click on the icon:

Run Calibration

1. press the icon to run the calibration process.

The camera should be repositioned within SP to the appropriate location relative to the calibration screen. You can open up the distortion viewer to double check if the alignment looks good or not.
