Augmented Reality with ptz Camera

 

Hi, I have just started using a Panasonic aw-UE100 ptz camera to display augmented reality elements within real environments. I am finding it very difficult to calibrate the virtual scene with the real scene. Since when I pan or tilt the camera, the virtual object shifts a bit with respect to the scene captured by the camera which gives a pretty bad result. 

Any advice on how to adjust both scenes properly?

I am using TrackedCam_AR_Unreal_Prev_3-Cam in aximmetry. 

Could it be a camera calibration problem?

Is there any best practice guide?

Thanks.

You need to understand how to get data track from PTZ Cam and then use tools calibrate of Aximmetry. If done you can use AR easy

Thank you,

I actually understand how ptz cameras work, and how the PTZ protocol works. I am currently working with the panasonic AW-UE 150 profile that I found in another thread in this forum (My camera is the panasonic AW_UE100 but this profile seems to work correctly) . 

The problem is that when panning my camera, the object does not stay anchored at a fixed point in space, it moves a little in the panning direction. 

I have tried to calibrate my camera. But the Camera calibrator module crashes when I open it. Problem for which aximmetry has not yet given me any solution. 

That's why I was asking if there is any best practice guide or documentation I can follow to solve this problem. 

Thank you very much for your time @cgsports

Hi

There was something that you had to turn off that double the movement  (search this forum)
also you cant use the file for a UE150 straight in UE100 because they have different sensorsize

this is the sensor size for UE100 given by Panasonic

AW-UE100 is equipped with newly developed 1/2.5-type 4K MOS x 1.

Size is 7,18 x 5,76 mm.
