and the camera is Point Grey Flea-HICOL

Yes, the newer versions of FlyCapture have less capabilities to convert between 
image formats for some reason. Before starting the calibration, please try to 
set your camera to a BGR (or maybe they call it RGB) image format.

Thank you! It's solved by installing an older version of flycap, i.e. flycap 
v1.8 instead of the latest version v2.2.

But the calibration failed several trials. It seemed that the printed markers 
well not well recognized, perhaps for the reason that the marker board is 
printed on a A4 size paper.

And in the attachment photos, the camera properties were not displayed while 
the projector properties did. Is this a problem, e.g. indicating the camera is 
not working well?

Thanks,
- Feng

Actually, the projector properties showed in the software interface is also a 
little wrong. The actual projector resolution is 1280x800 while the software 
shows it's 1680x1050.

If you see images from your camera, then it is working. The properties do now 
show up simply because they are unknown until we start the capture. Please read 
the README.txt file for the answers to your questions.

Hum, I did not seem to provide this hint in the README.txt file, but you should 
make sure that the "screenNumber" corresponds to the one of your projector.

Original comment by samuel.a...@gmail.com on 27 Jul 2011 at 4:24

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Yes, I figured that out, i.e. making projector number the same as display 
number. I have two displays (1 projector and 1 monitor). If the two displays 
are in extended mode, the projector properties panel always shows Display1 and 
Projector 0, no matter what the order of the displays and which one is main 
screen. So I had to first duplicate the two screen and then run the 
projCamCalib software so that the software "thought" the monitor is no.0 
corresponding to Projector 0, then I can switch it back to extended mode.

However, the calibration failed. The printed markers were well recognized I 
think. Can you help me to solve this problem?

Regards,

Or you could simply insert 0 as the `screenNumber` in the properties of 
ProCamCalib.

If you don't see IDs in green overlapped on the markers, then no, they are not 
detected or recognized. You need to make them appear better

Thank you very much! I calibrated the projector-camera pair successfully. It's 
indeed a very user-friendly method. 

I also tested your procam tracker, but it failed at "initial alignment" (after 
manual clicking ROI).

The debug info is as below, and also software screenshot and image taken by my 
iphone, and pro-cam calibration result in a txt file. Can you tell me what's 
wrong?

It may be possible that your hardware latency is greater than the amount 
specified in the Projector/latency setting or maybe 
TrackingWorker/lostObjectThreshold is too low, so you should try to increase 
those... But this is going to be very hard to debug remotely...

I tried to modify them, but still didn't work. 

Is it wrong to have surface normal value like below? If the surface is facing 
roughly to projector-camera (they aligned roughly together), the value should 
be like (0,0,1), right?
initial n = [ -6.390623E-4

Yes the third value should be at least an order of magnitude larger than the 
other two. Your calibration is probably not accurate enough.

Original comment by samuel.a...@gmail.com on 11 Aug 2011 at 12:26

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I calibrated several times with different parameters, but it still didn't work. 
How do you determine with procam_calib whether an calibration is accurate or 
not?

Thanks,

You check the calibration error. Please do read the README.txt files.

Original comment by samuel.a...@gmail.com on 20 Aug 2011 at 11:48

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Thanks! I have read the Readme file several times. 

Camera: reprojection RMS/max error (pixels) = 0.37726054 / 1.0214705
Projector: reprojection RMS/max error (pixels) = 0.33236763 / 1.3301842

I think this can tell the calibration is good enough. 

The ProCamTracker still didn't work, always failed at initial alignment stage, 
i.e. computing surface normal. It failed to converge, don't know why. I'm 
currently debug the code to see if I can find a clue.

For full info of the calibration, pls refer to the attachment.
I also attached the settings of the camera. I think they may be useful for you 
to debug.

I really appreciate your help.

The error of your color calibration is very bad. Make sure the gammas of your 
camera and projector correspond to the one you specify in the settings. It is 
usually 1.0 or 2.2, but sometimes that does not work either... Please ask the 
manufacturers of your camera and projector

Thanks! But I cannot see that the color calibration is very bad from the 
result. How did you tell that? From R2 (what does it mean?)?

I calibrated the system again, and it got following result, seems a little 
better but not that different from previous one. I set the gamma of camera to 
be 2.2. And projector gamma is 2.2. 

FYI, the camera is Flea-Hicol. The image format is Y8 (cannot choose RGB), and 
frame rate is 15Hz.

In addition, when the software was doing color calibration, it cannot continue 
when projecting some color (see attachment), and I had to keeping changing the 
pose of the marker board till it recognized the marker board.

"normalized RMSE" should be around 0.001 or less, and R2 around 0.999 or more

R2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

(I guess I should change that to R^2...)

And no you should not move the board around. Please make the markers clearer as 
indicated in the README.txt file, such as using more than 8 bpp, which should 
help..

OK. Thanks!

I tried to use more than 8bpp, i.e. Y16 or Raw16, but it always reports a 
severe error, as shown in the attachment (flycaptureCovnertImage() Error 2).

That should work, but I guess there may very well be a bug in there (and 
FlyCapture isn't helping .. libdc1394 works better, but not on Windows 
unfortunately)

Fixed that flycaptureConvertImage() error in the latest release

Original comment by samuel.a...@gmail.com on 1 Oct 2011 at 1:44

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
But it still reported error when I tried the latest version with camera image 
format as Y16...
The error message is a little different from previous one. It's now 
FlyCaptureFrameGrabber.java:405 not 401.

Thank you very much for keeping updating JavaCV!

Well, it works just fine for me here. Make sure your image is not actually a 
Bayer image, but a real grayscale, monochrome image, because newer versions of 
FlyCapture do not support conversion from Bayer or YUV to RGB anymore, for some 
reason...

In any case, if you figure out what does not work on your system, let me know 
and I will fix it, thank you
