EZlineup®: THE INTELLIGENT CAMERA OFFSETS CALIBRATOR
Universal workflow aiming at providing in just minutes, a very accurate camera line-up, no matter its reference, optic model, or type of tracking system in use!
While manual offsets measurement using a tape measure or laser remains still feasible; accurately estimating all tiny rotations in degrees can be quite challenging for any camera operator!
This manual process remains time-consuming and often yields satisfactory results from a specific viewpoint.
However, when the camera does transition to a different perspective, some spatial shifts may reappear, undermining the consistency of the effect …
Achieving pixel perfection for the image compositing that embeds the virtual layer often requires the operator to finely adjust its camera tracking system by measuring the offset distance in between the tracking sensor or marker and the camera’s CCD sensor, thus, while correctly aligning the tracking origin point of the stage with such a camera set.
Using the tag-based pattern “MAGIC CUBE” being placed on stage’s origin reference and captured by the camera from multiple viewpoints, EZlineup® combines the live Freed tracking data flow with an accurate lens profile generated by our patented lens profiler, into a computer vision-based solver: the recorded data is then automatically computed to deliver accurate alignment and spatial consistency.
