Hello,

I have just started playing around with iPi Mocap Studio in conjunction with 2 Kinect for XBox sensors, and I'm having a hard time getting calibration right. One of my problems is that the software thinks my cameras are 180 degrees apart, whereas in reality I'm using a 60-80 degree setup. The documentation says I can change this in the "Calibration" tab via the "Depth Sensors Arrangement" options. However, these buttons seem to be missing in my version of the software. All I see in the "Calibration" tab is the "Calibrate Based on 3D Plane" button, as shown in this screenshot:



How can I inform the software about what setup I'm really using? I have version 2.3.1.149 (Basic Edition).

Thanks,

Joel

Hi, Obiwan
The sensor positions are detected automatically now.
The documentation that comes with the software (under Help > User Guides menu) is a bit outdated. Sorry for that. It's a bunch of work to prepare these "offline" docs, so we do not do this on each release. An up-to-date info is maintained in our wiki. Here is the link for dual-Kinect calibration section:
http://wiki.ipisoft.com/User_Guide_for_Dual_Depth_Sensor_Configuration#Calibration
The main thing for proper autodetection of angle between the sensors is moving the calibration board considerably, at least in 0.5m range, both back and forth and side to side.

@vmaslov: Thanks for the link and the calibration hint, I'll keep this in mind for my next calibration.

@eyepies: Great, many thanks, this little trick did indeed solve my problem! After the second calibration, my camera positions are now recognized correctly, yay :)

Cheers,

Joel
