Camera Calibration
Camera calibration is required for the VCA engine to classify objects into different object classes. Once
the camera has been calibrated, the engine can infer real-world object properties such as speed, height
and area and classify objects accordingly.
Camera Calibration Topics:
• Calibration Page Elements
• Calibrating a Camera Advanced
• Calibration Parameters
• Vertical Field of View
• Measurement Units
Calibration Page Elements
The following describes the purpose of each element of the calibration page. To get started calibrating
straight away, see the Calibrating a Camera topic.
3D Graphics Overlay
During the calibration process, the features in the video image need to be matched with a 3D graphics
overlay. The 3D graphics overlay consists of a green grid that represents the ground plane. Placed on the
ground plane are several 3D mimics that represent the dimensions of a person with the current calibration
parameters. The calibration mimics are used for verifying the size of a person in the scene.
Mouse controls
The calibration parameters can be adjusted as follows:
• Click and drag the ground plane to change the tilt angle.
• Use the mouse wheel to adjust the camera height.
• Drag the slider to change the vertical field of view.
