VIC Calibration targets are available for a wide range of field of view sizes and applications. Contact us anytime if you have questions or special requirements.
3D Calibration process
Calibrating a VIC-3D system is straightforward and has been streamlined to a nearly automatic process. The procedure for the 3D system involves moving, imaging, and analyzing a rigid calibration target in front of a stereo camera pair. This precisely calculates the cameras’ intrinsic and extrinsic parameters while triangulating the cameras’ positions and removing lens distortions. This ultimately removes any measurement bias and defines a three-dimensional coordinate system on the specimen’s surface. This entire process typically takes 1-3 minutes.

VIC-Gimbal & BCTF 50
The calibration procedure of VIC can be easily done moving the targets manually. However for small field of view where manual positioning of the targets and the influence of motion blurring becomes difficult we offer the:
- Backlit Calibration Target Fixture (BCTF 50), for the 50 x 50 mm glass targets series and stereo microscope targets
- VIC Calibration Gimbal for automated calibration of VIC-3D systems via USB & VIC-Snap or Wifi & VIC-Snap App, which is especially useful for non-reachable areas such as climatic chambers
VIC-Gimbal
The team at MATX, recently tested our VIC-Gimbal for infrared 3D-DIC calibration and shared their experience in this video.
We’re proud to see how the VIC-Gimbal helps researchers improve efficiency, safety, and repeatability in challenging environments.
