- Display Frame Information:
-
- Three coloumns are displayed. The first one contains the number of
- the frame, the second one contains a value named deviation. The third
- one is the so-called camera status.
- When the camera position and orientation are reconstructed
- 3D-Equalizer determines if the screen points (and their constraints)
- are consistent. The degree of inconsistence is called deviationand
- can be expressed in pixel. It may be considered as the error of the
- reconstruction. Nevertheless, the user should not rely on this value
- too much, but rather judge the quality of the camera reconstruction
- for the entire sequence by his/her own eyes.
- The camera status can assume the values UNDEFINED, CALCULATED,
- 3 POINTS and SPLINED.
- UNDEFINED means that 3D-Equalizer was not able to reconstruct the
- camera for the respective frame, because there are not enough screen
- points whose point status is CALCULATED.
- The status CALCULATED means that 3D-Equalizer has calculated the
- position and orientation of the camera using the specified
- calculation method (see also Project Settings).
- 3 POINTS means that 3D-Equalizer has calculated the position and
- orientation of the camera using a special calculation method. It is
- applied automatically to frames with only three visible screen points.
- Typically the deviation of these frames is nearly zero. Since for
- mathematical reasons the camera position and orientation cannot be
- determined uniquely it is recommended to use this feature only in
- short parts of the sequence.
- SPLINED means that 3D-Equalizer splines the position and orientation
- of the camera out of the information of the surrounding CALCULATED
- and 3 POINTS frames. This status is associated to a frame, if less
- than 3 visible screen points are found. This feature can be
- deactivated (see also Project Settings). It is also recommended to
- use this feature only in short parts of the sequence.
-
- Display Point Information:
-
- Four coloumns are displayed. The first one contains the identifier of
- the point. The second one contains the so-called point type. The
- third one contains an error value, and the fourth one contains the
- so-called point status.
- For the calculation methods Distance Contraint Method (see also
- Project Settings) the point type can assume the values PRIMARY and
- SECONDARY. A primary point is a point with a sufficient number of
- constraints to other points. A point is secondary if it is not
- primary. The position of a secondary point is reconstructed optically
- by 3D-Equalizer by using all frames in which the point has a screen
- point representation.
- The error has different interpretations for primary and secondary
- points. For primary points it contains information about the
- consistency of its constraints in percent. For secondary points the
- error (in length units) represents the standard deviation of the
- point's reconstructed position from its real (unknown) position.
- The point status can assume the values CALCULATED and UNDEFINED.
- CALCULATED means, that the position of the point (primary or
- secondary) has been determined by 3D-Equalizer. Otherwise the status
- is UNDEFINED.

- Display Constraint Information:
-
- There are two sections, one for the distance constraints and one for
- the plane constraints. For the distance constraints there are three
- coloumns. The first one contains the identifiers of the points which
- form the respective constraint. The second one contains an error
- value, and the third one contains the so-called constraint status.
- The error (in percent) represents the relative deviation of the
- reconstructed points╣ distance from the constraint╣s user-entered
- distance. The constraint status can assume the values USED and UNUSED.
- The constraint is USED, if both of its points are primary. Otherwise
- the constraint is UNUSED.
- For the plane constraints there are three coloumns. The first one
- contains the identifier of the plane constraint. The second one
- contains an error value, and the third one contains the so-called
- status.
- The error is the average error of the constraints of the points
- involved in the plane constraint.
- The status can assume the values CALCULATED and UNDEFINED. The
- plane constraint is CALCULATED, if 3D-Equalizer has been able to
- reconstruct and to use the plane spanned by the points of the plane
- constraint.
