We provide 4K and HD demo intrinsics to streamline your initial setup and allow you to begin recording immediately. While these are useful for testing, we strongly advise creating your own lens intrinsics for any long-term or permanent setup.
CRITICAL PREREQUISITE:
When using the demo intrinsics,the Laowa lens must be set to 'infinity.' Failure to do so will result in calibration errors.
A camera profile in Genesis defines the camera intrinsics (focal length, principal point, and distortion). You can either:
- Process a new intrinsics file using the Genesis application.
- Import an existing intrinsics file (YAML)
1. Processing the Intrinsics in Genesis
- Click Import takes from Folder
- Click Browse PeelCapture Project and select the folder directory of your Peel Capture shoot.
- Select Import on the specific Intrinsic takes.
- Select the Intrinsic take and verify that the take type is correctly set to Intrinsic.
- Click Process
- This will take between 10-20 minutes to process successfully.
- After successful processing, use the toggle settings to view or hide the Keypoint Detection and Coverage Overlay indicators(This can be found in the tool bar above the video playback).These controls are located in the central toolbar, positioned directly above the video playback window.
- For an intrinsic calibration to be successful we would recommend atleast 90% coverage of the grid.
- Following a successful intrinsic calibration, you may proceed with capturing your extrinsic calibration.
