If you still see unwanted reflections, you 
can start and stop camera masking again

Masking tools.

Calibrate the system

You calibrate the system to enable the 
cameras to capture subject movements 
throughout the volume.

You can also set the volume origin and 
orientation of axes in relation to the capture 
volume and to one another.

To calibrate your Vicon Vantage system, use 
the supplied Vicon calibration device. 

 1 

Remove from the capture volume any 
unnecessary objects, such as calibration 
objects and markers.

 2 

In your Vicon application software, ensure 
the following are selected:

All the cameras

The calibration device you will be using

An appropriate number of Refinement 
Frames

Auto Stop

 3 

In the Calibrate Cameras section (in Blade, 
the 

Wand Wave

 section), click Start. 

 4 

In the volume, wave the wand to cover the 
whole target volume area. Make sure that 
the tracks are evenly distributed 
throughout the volume. You can view the 
distribution of the tracks in the view pane.

 5 

When all cameras have captured the 
number of frames set by the Refinement 
Frames option, the calibration stops. 

Additional information about set-up, 
calibration and object tracking can be found 
in the online help of your Vicon software.
