PixelTraq Educational and Implementation Resources
We know that camera calibration will add value to your machine vision application, but implementation of camera models is not always straightforward. Click through the objects below to learn more both generally about camera calibration and modeling and specifically about PixelTraq outputs and implementation.
Introduction to Camera Models
Camera models are mathematical representations of the way that light travels from the real world to the image plane of a camera. Learn more in the linked white paper on camera modeling.
Introduction to Camera Calibration
Review the technical details of classical chart-based camera calibration methodology and what makes PixelTraq unique in the capture of traceable point pairs required for robust and precise camera modeling.
Stereo Vision Applications
Camera calibration is essential for stereo depth or stereoscopic vision. Learn how to reconstruct 3D information in post-processing from a binocular pair of calibrated cameras in this detailed application note.
Understanding Your Calibration Results
Each camera calibrated on PixelTraq is delivered with a parametric camera model as well as a detailed calibration certificate. Learn how to dissect and gather insights from your PixelTraq calibration certificate here.
