  • Troubleshooting Calibration Problems

    Calibration in Vic-3D is well automated but certain situations can lead to problems with either high calibration scores, or a failure to calibrate at all. This article lists some common causes for eac...

  • Getting Cameras Up in Vic-Snap

    New or updated cameras will not always populate in Vic-Snap automatically. Some configuration may be needed to ensure smooth operation and data acquisition. The following information is intended to gu...

  • Obtaining Synchronized Analog Data and Uploading Analog Data in Vic-2D/3D

    Obtaining Synchronized Data Most of our systems come with an National Instruments DAQ.  Typically these have BNC Inputs.  Once the DAQ is plugged in, the Analog Data icon in Vic-Snap will no longer be...

  • Camera Coordinate System in Vic-3D

    By default, Vic-3D uses the Best Plane Fit to assign a coordinate system.  This option calculates a transform into the best fit plane of the surface.   Sometimes it is preferred to leave the data in c...
