Failure to Connect Hikvision 2D Camera When Connecting Camera in External2D in Step “Capture Images from Camera”
Symptom:
For Mech-Vision 1.6.1 and older versions, connection to the Hikvision 2D camera in the External2D camera list was not available when you used Step “Capture Images from Camera” to connect to a real 2D camera.
Affected Software Versions:
Mech-Vision 1.6.1 and earlier versions
Solution:
Since the camera is used mainly for image capturing, intrinsic parameter check, and hand-eye calibration, you can choose the way to fix the issue according to the function that you need the camera to perform.
-
If the Hikvision 2D camera is used to capture images only, you can replace “Step Capture Images from Camera” with Step “Camera 2D”.
-
If the Hikvision 2D camera is used both for image capturing and intrinsic parameter check (or hand-eye calibration), you can follow the steps below to fix the issue:
-
Replace Step “Capture Images from Camera” with Step “Camera 2D” and connect to a Hikvision 2D camera to capture images.
-
When using Step “Capture Images from Camera”, turn on Virtual mode, and read data in data path. Camera Calibration Parameters will read calibration parameters of the camera automatically.
