Fixed camera calibration method

The Fixed camera calibration method uses fixed locations of the cameras and the reference markers to calibrate a camera system. It can be used for systems covering large areas, where other methods are impractical. With this method a much larger measurement volume can be used, since one camera must not see the whole measurement volume. The disadvantage is however that the camera system must be fixed to its location.

Before the Fixed camera calibration is started the exact positions of the camera system and reference markers must be entered on the Calibration page in the Project options dialog, see chapter Fixed camera calibration.

For more information about how to install and use a fixed camera system contact Qualisys AB about the QTM - Marine manual. They include detailed descriptions of the camera installation, survey measurement, fixed camera calibration, validation and the use of 6DOF bodies in marine applications.
