Fixed camera calibration type
The Fixed camera calibration type 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. The fixed calibration type requires that the cameras are at fixed, stable locations.
The fixed camera calibration requires that the exact positions of the cameras and reference markers, obtained from a survey measurement, are entered on the Calibration page in the Project options dialog, see chapter Fixed camera calibration. The fixed calibration than calculates the camera orientations and optimizes the focal lengths for each camera, based on the measured positions of the reference markers.
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.
