notes:

  • Install the "workstation" windows application present in the "OldVicon" repo
  • You would need HASP drivers that can be installed from here
  • There are a total of 36 cameras, we might not be using all of them
  • Workstation: Control of vicon system; calibration, data capture, data management, data reconstruction, basic data editing
  • Calibration
    • it is of two types static calibration and dynamic calibration
    • static- definition of base frame transformation. Uses L-frame and Flatcal. Former for body capture and latter for small volumes. (ref: Pg 14)
    • dynamic- estimation of relative camera transformations. calibration target is a wand. for different capture volumes, different dimensions of the wand is used.
  • Markers
    • 25mm-3mm(for face/small objects).
    • soft hemispherical markers; useful for motion with contacts.
  • Cables
    • video monitor cable: connect the monitor to the data station camera. useful for fault diagnosis
    • straight through 100 base-T network cable: connects data station to a network hub or switch
    • cross-over 100 base-T network cable: direct connection of data station to work PC
