Failure to Connect Hikvision 2D Camera When Connecting External 2D Cameras 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 Versions:
Mech-Vision 1.6.1 and earlier versions
Solution:
The camera is used mainly for image capturing, intrinsic parameter check, and extrinsic parameter 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 the “Capture Images from Camera” Step with the “Camera 2D” Step.
-
If the Hikvision 2D camera is used both for image capturing and intrinsic parameter check or extrinsic parameter calibration, you can follow the steps below to fix the issue:
-
Replace the “Capture Images from Camera” Step with the “Camera 2D” Step and connect to a Hikvision 2D camera to capture images.
-
When using the “Capture Images from Camera” Step, turn on Virtual Mode, and read data in Data Path. Calibration Parameter Group will read calibration parameters of the camera automatically.
