 A report on a successful calibration may be displayed by the //**ViewLin**// utility program. It can be launched by selecting one or more .//cal// files in the AMASS shell **Input files** box and then clicking on the **ViewLin** function button. It will also be automatically started after each calibration provided the **ViewLin** box is checked in the calibration parameters. This program may also be run in stand-alone mode.

 The main graphics window shows the area of a selected camera’s image that was calibrated, with the grid indicating the lens distortions present for that camera. The camera whose image is to be displayed can be selected in the list box to the right of the graphics window, or by use of **arrow** keys.

 This section offers some advice on what kind of numbers are acceptable for a good and accurate calibration. Because all distance measures are in physical units the numbers will depend upon the size of the wand and the calibration volume utilized. Here we provide values for the standard 1000mm wand used in a volume of approximately 2 x 2 x 2 meters. The //**Identify**// program now provides a utility that lets you easily view the residuals and camera usage for any segment, providing a very convenient tool for checking system performance. See example output below.

 The first figure shows the residual plot for a marker from a VGA ( 640 x 480 resolution) camera system (Optitrack V100:R2). All calibration SD values were around 0.4 – 0.6 mm. The spikes are the result of markers being partially obscured in a camera view, or marker merges in camera views.

 The next figure shows an equivalent plot from a 832 x 832 pixel system (Optitrack S250e cameras) which produced calibration residuals of approximately 0.2mm.

 The last plot shows results from a 5 camera 2048 x 1148 resolution system covering a considerably larger volume. In this case the SD’s were in the 0.13mm range indicating the very high accuracy that can be produced by the AMASS software.

   * ****% image**** It usually should not be difficult to get these values above 70%. If they are less, then either the wand has not been moved sufficiently or the camera is not placed close enough to the measurement area. Be aware of the fact that for a marker image to be used in one camera it must, as a minimum, also appear in at least one other camera. This factor tends to complicate the cause and effect of calibration discrepancies. To be safe it is best to collect more frames with extensive wand motions to ensure that the maximum possible coverage of the camera image areas is achieved.
