Introduction > Calibrating a Camera

For calibrating your camera, you can use the calibration wizard that is contained in NxView. There are different types of calibrations.

•You can recalibrate the geometry of a stereo camera itself. When your camera was already calibrated when it was delivered, you can also download and restore its original calibration.

•You can calibrate two stereo cameras together. This computes their relative position to each other and links them together, so that their 3D data can be merged. See the topic on multi-camera setups for more information on how this works.

•You can calibrate a monocular camera to a stereo camera to get a point cloud that is textured by the color information from the monocular camera. See the corresponding how-to for more information on this type of calibration.

For each of these calibration types, simply select the cameras that are participating in it and click the "Calibrate..." button. The wizard will then guide you through the steps that are necessary for this type of calibration.

Note: All N-Series cameras are delivered factory calibrated.
