Xcam

Xcam can be used to create reconstructed cameras (MayaCams) in the coordinate space of the calibration object as chosen in XMALab.

Steps

1. Before using this tool, export MayaCams 2.0 and undistorted trial images from XMALab. Know which reference calibration frame you used use to set your coordinate space. [link here]
2. Select the number of cameras you want to create using the + and - buttons.
3. Select the MayaCam 2.0 file associated with your reference calibration frame using the ellipses next to the MayaCam File box.
4. Rename each camera in the Camera Name textfield if desired.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 for each camera.
6. Click "Create Cameras" to create cameras.
7. Click "Import Trial" to add video sequences.

N.B., it is good practice to check the positions of the cameras in your Maya scene and make sure they align with both the 3-D worldview in XMALab and your memory of your recording setup.
