3. Find a suitable object to use as a reference for calibration. It should be a flat
surface located at least 3m from the system and preferably with its edges within
the view.
4. Press and hold Ctrl and left-click near the edge of the object to set the first
reference point. Now press and hold Ctrl and right-click at another point near (but
not on) the edge of the object to set the second reference point.
When the system verifies the calibration, it looks at these two reference points and
compares the stored distances to the acquired ones, and if they differ more than 2dm,
the system will report an error. Since it is the distance that is compared, it is important
to set the reference points at different sides of the object, and even better at opposite
corners if possible. If there are no edges available, the points should at least be set at
different distances if possible.
You can test the calibration points using the test function on the Operator Panel once
the configuration has been applied.
4.6 CENTRELINE
Here you can define the layout of each centreline by placing markers along the
centreline in an image.
On the left side
of this feature’s window you can see the calibration image where you
define your centreline area. On the right side you can see a top view of the calibration
image (to the left) where any object with a height of >0.5m is displayed in red.
