Photomerging using two cameras

Hi,
I'm working on a project and recently got PS5 specifically for the project. I have two canon 5D Mark IIs and I am trying to photomerge two simultaneously captured shots, or two shots captured seconds after the other of a still subject. For some reason, it won't merge the images. I suspected that the problem might be that I am using two cameras to take the shots so I attempted using one camera and then moving it to the location of the other. That worked. Does anyone know why this might be? If so, is there any work-around. Doing it with one camera kind of defeats the purpose of my project and is the whole reason we purchased two set-ups.

It certainly is not necessary that the component images of a panorama have the same serial numbers for camera bodies or lenses. I have made several panoramas out of old slides or negatives that I scanned with a flatbed scanner. But Photohop may have problems if the EXIF data explicitly shows that the bodies or lenses are different. You can check if different EXIF data is the culprit by copy-pasting pixels from a camera B images to camera A images. That way you have pixels from the A and B cameras but EXIF data only from camera A.

How to get 3D coordinates of reflective markers using two cameras?

Hi,
I am very new to LabVIEW (in fact to any coding at all) and helping my adviser to get the 3D coordinates of a few reflective markers using two cameras. I am able to read the marker coordinates (x, y) from two cameras simultaneously by processing the data in real-time using codes generated from vision assistant. However, we want to get the depth position by triangulating the markers. I have seen stereo vision doing something similar to this, but I think the stereo vision may not work with our calibration frame (markers) and we don’t need the whole depth image, but only the maker’s z coordinates. I also want to use Region of Interest to mask out other regions that are creating reflections. However, I am not sure if triangulation would work if we select region of interest (as the origin of the camera coordinates would change after selecting ROI). I saw this link http://kwon3d.com/theory/dlt/dlt.html#3d where they used DLT (direct linear transformation) method, but it is too much to code from the beginning. Is there a subVI in LabVIEW or some sort of prewritten code that can be customized? Can anyone please give me some advice on how to solve this problem?

Well in theory, if you know exactly where the cameras are pointed, how far apart they are, and how far the reflector images are above or below the horizon and to the right or left of center line, a little simple math should give you the answer. Concerning the ROI I would think all you needed to know was where the ROI was relative to horizon and centerline. You could then calculate an absolute position from there, which would also give you the angles you would need.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any readily availble code. But I'm sure there is some! With the emphasis on FIRST robotics, I got to believe that judging distances in 3D space is something for which there is a lot of code.

Can I edit from two camera angles?

Hello
I'm an iMovie lover struggling with Final Cut Express! I want to use two camera's to shoot some interviews, is there an easy way to edit these two pieces of the same footage (different angles) in Final Cut Express?
Cheers
Derek

Hi
Yes - but not as easy as in FinalCut Pro (old one e.g. 6) where there is a multicamera function.
If FCE - I do
• Put Camera one on Video Track one in TimeLine
• Put Camera two on Video Track two
• Select track one clip
- by double click it and then in Viewer turn on Image + Wireframe and
- resize it to 50% and
- move it to a corner e.g. top left one.
• Same with track two - but up to the right
• Now move one track so that it synchronize with the other one. You can use the audio Wave-form to do this - I use a flash-light from a Camera to get one white frame on both cameras to set them exactly right.
• Now by changing the transparency of the track two (pen tool and set to show transp.-line) one can select what Camera to view.
• When all's done - Just scale back and center picture
And Done

Syncing clips from two cameras

This must be a fairly common thing, but I have been unable to find the answer I'm looking for, so maybe I have a terminology problem. But here is what I want to do...
I shot my wedding using two cameras one a Sony HVR-A1U on a tripod and the other a Sony PD-170 handheld by a friend of mine. I would like to put them both in the timeline and just cut back and forth between the two cameras. Is there an easy way to match the two, so I get clean edits? Also I'm going to use the audio from just the camera on the tripod as it's better.
I hope I explained that clearly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You should've synched them to a clock or some such thing when you recorded the event, but it's too late for that. The best way to do what you want is multiclip editing-- which, (sorry for more bad news) is not a function of Express. You'll have to layer them on top of each other and sync them some other way, then just cut back and forth as you see fit.
As a sidenote, while FCP does have multiclip editing, I would not consider upgrading to it just for that. It is widely known as one of the weaker functions of FCP (at least as compared to other NLEs).

Synchronize Two Cameras

Hi,
I am an novice video guy. I am supposed to video a ballet using two cameras; one pan and one close-up. I would like some sort of trick to help me synchronize the two cameras so that I can easily edit the close-up video into the wide-angle shots. I thought of a flash prior to the beginning of the dance so that I can line up the video of both cameras during editing but flash photography is forbidden.
There must be an established technique but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Tom's suggestion of a clapperboard or a handclap is probably your best bet. Just keep those cameras running once they are started. If you do so, after you capture, you will have 2 long clips (one from each camera) that you can put on the timeline & align once. After you have them aligned in the timeline, you should unlink the audio tracks from the video tracks, and then you can do your video cutting in the timeline and the audio can remain sync'd with both video tracks throughout.
If you start/stop either camera, you will end up with multiple clips, each of which will have to be aligned individually on the timeline - laboriously, one by one - and I can assure you that is a real b**.
The alternative is either a video mixer where you do your transitions in real time (as if you were broadcasting live) and feed them to a single recording deck or some pretty expensive equipment to sync audio & video between the two cameras.

HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

Using two scan progressive cameras with 1409?

I need to use two scan progressive cameras with the 1409. The two cameras are two sony XC-55 (30Hz). I have configured one as a Master and the other as Slave. I have connected the HD and VD of each camera between them.
I acquire a sequence of frames (normally I take five)of each camera every time that a triggeg ocurrs. Time to time I get some frames in the slave camera that the first line of the frame is not at the top. Not always in the same position. Sometimes I don't received the last or the two last frames.
In the past I used the same configuration with the 1408 and 1408 always tooks correctly all the frames from the two cameras.
Please, help me?
Thanks, in advance

I think the board isn't reading correctly the frames. I have some systems installed with the 1408 and they work correctly. I will send you some frames which show the problem and the vi that I use to capture them. The .icd file that I use with the 1409 is 30 Hz progressive and the .icd file that I use with the 1408 is scan area.
It is possible that I can solve the problem changing the parameters of the icd file? Do you have information about them?

Controlling two cameras using LabVIEW

Hi,
I am a research assistant and my task is to control two cameras using LabVIEW. Also I need to store the pics automatically in a file having the exact time for each pic when taken. I am still new to this kind of work but I am trying my best to learn. I am using some icon for saving pictures but they were stored as RSC format. You can take a look at what I've done so far. I really appreciate if someone can help me with that. Thank you

Cannot use two iSight cameras at the same time

I use an external display on my laptop. Close the lid and work on the external display. I connect an external iSight, and a message says that the camera is already in use?!
Can I not use two iSights at the same time?

Hello Webmaster
You can have two iSights connected at one time, but, as explained in Apple's iSight "Your camera is in use by another application" message, iSight can be used by one application at a time. (my emphasis) Check for any running applications, Login Items, or widgets that can use your iSight. (It is easy to forget widgets like Mirror in your Dashboard.)
Different apps select between multiple connected cameras in different ways. For instance, you use iChat > Preferences... > Video settings to select which camera to use, but iMovie 6 uses a drop-down menu as shown in this picture:
The suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight should help you determine whether one of your iSights is causing trouble. I suggest you test each one separately and without your external display or other peripherals to rule out possible conflicts like the one that user BombCreative reports in his post at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5868843#5868843
After you are certain that your iSights are working individually, test them when both are connected. After your system successfully passes these tests, you can add your external devices back one-by-one to be sure one of them is not causing the problem.

Two cameras at the same time Lab view (NI MAX)

I have two similar Point Grey Firefly MV cameras. I need to use them simultaneously in LabVIEW, but NI MAX only detects one at the same time (the two cameras are detected properly separately). I think that NI MAX identifies both camera as the same camera, but I dont know how to change the name of one of those cameras, or maybe change the serial number. Also NI MAX gives the same serial number to both of them. I would apreciate your help
Thank you.

Hi Aurelio,
This is a commom issue for USB Cameras. Once IMAQdx calls the camera driver to acquire image, if the camera driver cannot acquire from 2 cameras, IMAQdx cannot acquire from 2 cameras too.
You can ask to camera vendor about how the camera driver works.

How to use Phone camera for live streaming rather than using WireCast camera in Live streaming using Azure Media Services

Hi,
am planning to develop a live streaming app using C# and xaml.
I have gone through the below sample and am able to stream the live content using wireacst camera.
Azure Media Services Live Streaming Sample
But i want to use Phone camera to stream the live video rather using wirecast camera.
How can i use that? How to get the published URL from the C# code, is there any API to get that?
Anybody please help me
Regards,
Santhosh

Hello,
There are no in box components that will allow you to transmit captured video from a Windows Phone device to Azure Media Services. You will need to create you own implementation. You can do this by creating a custom Media Foundation sync that can plug into
the MediaCapture element's pipeline. You will then need to modify the captured and compressed video to align to one of the two protocols that Azure Media services can use. At this time Azure Media services can use either Smooth Streaming or RTMP for ingestion.
You will need to create your own packager (or find compatible packager code from a 3rd party) to package the MP4 encoded data into the necessary format.
Here is an example of how to create a custom Media Foundation sync (please note you must write your Media Foundation components using C++ MoCOM. We do not support Media Foundation components written in managed languages):

How can I get two cameras to aquire at the same time rather than one after the other

I've got (2) PCI-1428 cards, Two Uniq Vision cameras with power supplies, cameralink cables, and IMAQ-D6804 cables. Both cameras are being triggered by the same switch, but they are not grabbing images at the same time. Right now it is triggering one camera as desired, but the other doesn't aquire until after the time-sensitive event. On the next test, the two camera will trade these roles. I am using 2 cards, so they should acquire at the same time. How do I change it so that they grab images at the same time? Thank you for your help.
Deater

Hi Deater,
Thank you for your post. Triggering from two cameras at the same time may be a little trickey, but it can be done. There are multiple ways to tackle this problem. If you have a RTSI cable, you can RTSI the two PCI boards together internally to lock them in HW. You should also be able to use the triggering line on each board.
One of the best methods for triggering multiple boards is called GenLocking. The following Developer Zone page describes GenLocking more fully and has several examples to help you out: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/a387b5c0ac6f6f4e86256c87005fcddf.
The "HL Grab with two boards.vi" shipping example is also a good example of the code needed to trigger two individual boards in LV. I found a similar post that may be of some help as well: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=230&message.id=2691&requireLogin=False
Hope this helps!
