2.13.3 Adjusting the Single Images of a MOBOTIX D12D-180°
The MOBOTIX D12D-180° has two 90° wide-angle lenses that are mounted on a
lens bridge in such a way that they produce a 180° dual image. Due to tiny manu-
facturing tolerances, the images of the two lenses do not always fit perfectly.
When installing a D12D-180°, you need to follow these extra steps to create a good
combined image from the two single images (left and right image sensor).
Step 1: Activating the 180° View
When accessing the images of the D12D-180° for the first time, the camera only
shows the image of the right image sensor. Click on the Camera Selection Quick
Control above the live image and set the value in the field alongside to
180° View
. If
the image does not fit on your monitor, because the camera currently shows a
larger format than VGA (i.e. Mega), use a different Quick Control to set the image
format to VGA: Resolution Quick Control>
VGA (640x480)
.
When examining the live image, the following issues are apparent:
• Parts of the image information (especially at the upper and lower image bor-
der) are duplicated.
• Both images are slightly tilted in the same direction.
• The camera shows the controls for adjusting the 180° view in
the left bottom corner of the live image (these will be hidden
again later).
Step 2: Zooming the single images
This step consists of increasing the zoom of the two single images so that the gray
area at the center of the image and the duplicate image information is not visible
any more.
To achieve this, simply click on the corresponding control to increase or decrease
the zoom level. Note that clicking on the small icon close to the bottom image bor-
der results in small changes while clicks farther away from the border on the larger
icon result in larger changes.
