WebCam Data

Hi All:

  This is a dropzone for any webcam data ( like your confidence levels) , experiences or comments / suggestions
related to the Stereo Photometrics module. All data helps to make the module strionger in future.

Thx

I am getting confidence levels like 23.48, 44.25, 36.148 and etc.  Picture looks good but every time I select "add st'" the program immediately goes into an infinite loop and a "3 finger salute" is the only way out.  I have yet to get even 1 good output.

Karl:

Excellent numbers. OK, so you have generated the normals, and created the 3d? Did you decimate the stl before using AddSTL? Decimate it down to around 75,000 or less vertices. Does it lock up when you hit addSTL now?

hi art tried the webcam in my scanner box the picks came out ok with me turning lights on and off by hand.

had settings at 176 x 144 YUY2, confidences at 270.9, gradient scale 0.01 I put the image out at x 176, y 144 and z 14.81831, vertices 6331. see attached pic

it would have worked better if i turned lights on and of at the correct time got it close a couple of times pic`s came out quite clear so if you wont to add out put light control through a arduino that would be cool this year next year when ever.

if you did I think it would be as good or better than the scanner program I use.

Hi Dan:

Thx for the numbers. If the photos are not perfectly timed it will screw it up..no question.

yep I will try sticking my spear off next week screen in there to get the correct timing it will make it better, useing twin screens makes it easy

Hi art had a good play today I have the screen in my scanner box works good forgot to save the last image I did it came out quite well

the confidence was 64.899, resolution 640 x 480, fire 250ms

couple of thing I found the colour of what you are taking a image of can make or brake a image capture dark colour`s don't work very well at all light colour`s are fine, black pretty much leaves a very white colour, so if the back ground is black it will leave a white back ground.

I will play more tomorrow using a black back ground hopefully I will rember to save the images this time

Dan:

Send me a email to support and I can send you the new version with a much different
algorithm.. much faster and pulls much better. You may find it better, but there are no docs
or video for it yet, its a bit more complex as more selections exist in its operations.

  But then, the results are much more impressive..

hi art did not see your reply did some playing with a black back ground so much better the area around what I did images off is single colour and flat.

I will add images of result from cut 3D

a is same settings as before as a negative, 3 is image

[ArtF]

lol.. Those look cool..

I see your email, Ill send you a fresh version..
