* The modules haveindividual IP address:
192.168.0.221-229
* 192.168.0.221 - master camera, sends sync signals to others.
* A single image format is JP4 (a RAW format with a better quality than *.jpeg).
* Corresponding frames have the same time stamps generated by the master camera.
* The master camera frames are geotagged.
* The IMU log is stored on 1 of the 2 Compact Flash cards (non-removable) attached to the master camera.
-->

=== Post-Processing===

====A. WebGUI part (PHP + JavaScript + HTML)====
* Copying images before processing.
* Extracting GPS coordinates from images.
* Stitching (after ImageJ).
* Formatting/resizing the results.

Eyesis4Pi 393 User Guide - Recording

Thu, 03/16/2017 - 13:18

Created page with "== Download & Install== Install GUI to the device that will be used for recording. There are several ways to install it: Terminal: cd <any-path> git clone https://github.co..."

New page

== Download & Install==
Install GUI to the device that will be used for recording. There are several ways to install it:

Terminal:
cd <any-path>
git clone https://github.com/Elphel/eyesis4pi-393-gui.git
git pull (repeat any time to get the latest)
GitHub.com:
https://github.com/Elphel/eyesis4pi-393-gui

Follow the instructions in INSTALL.txt:
1. (For Kubuntu 16.04) Install the following packages, terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5.6 php5.6-curl

2. Make the src folder visible to the web server:
2a. Create a link, terminal: "sudo ln -sf <path-to-eyesis4pi_gui-folder> /var/www/eyesisgui"
2b. Or copy all the files to /var/www/eyesisgui.
Note: "/var/www" is the (apache2) web server's document root folder.

(for recording to the device over network only)
2c. Make the footage root folder "/data/footage" writable for everyone.


== Equipment/Package ==

* Eyesis4Pi 393
* Switch
* PC / Laptop

<br/><br/>

== Power On ==

*Turn the switch on.
*Connect the camera's ethernet cables to the switch. Boot takes about 1 min.
<b>
Important Notice: Use a fan to cool the camera's pole when shooting indoors.
</b>
<br/><br/>

== Network Set Up ==

*Connect the PC to the Gigabit port of the switch.
*Configure the PC's network settings ([http://linuxlibrary.org/kubuntu-network-configuration/ Kubuntu Network Configuration Guide]):

<font size="2">
IP address: 192.168.0.68 (example)

</font>

<font size="2"></font> '''''Note:''' Eyesis4Pi 393 default IP addresses: 192.168.0.161-163'' <br><br>

== System Tests ==

*Open the GUI page (the address is bookmarked in the Firefox and in the Chrome). The GUI address is:

<font size="2"></font>

<font size="2">
http://127.0.0.1/eyesisgui/index.html
</font>

*Go to the "Settings" -&gt; "Test"-tab:

*Follow the '''Open the test page'''-link, the tests are:

<font size="2"></font>

<font size="2">
1. All the modules are online.
2. GPS locked
3. IMU detected
4. Internal CF cards are present
</font>

== Setting recording parameters: storage paths ==

*Check paths at the '''Settings''' -&gt; '''Recording'''-tab

<font size="2"></font>

<font size="2">
'''Absolute footage path''' - the path to the folder where all the footage series are stored. '''Must be writable to everyone.'''
'''Series subfolder''' - created automatically
'''Files limit in a subfodler''' - number of files stored in a subfolder inside '''Series subfolder'''

'''CF card device name''' - GPS/IMU log is saved to the internal CF cards. On the master camera they are /dev/hda1 &amp; /dev/hdb1
'''GPS/IMU log file name''' - absolute path (in the master camera)+ log base name
'''Starting index''' - logs are named as follows - '''[base_name]-[index]'''
'''Records per file''' - number of records per log file. New file: an incremented index is added to the base name.

== Setting recording parameters: camera settings ==

*Check camera settings at the '''Settings''' -&gt; '''Camera'''-tab

<font size="2"></font>

<font size="2">
'''Trigger period,ms ''' - 1/FPS.
'''Skip frames mask''' - hex 0x1ff - bit[8]=enable, bits[7:0] - '''1''' - record frame, '''0''' - skip frame - in an 8-frame sequence.
'''HDRVexpos''' - in the HDR mode - the darker frame multiplication coefficient to get exposure for the lighter frame.
'''AutoExp max, ms''' - the autoexposure value limit.
'''AutoExp level''' - value of a pixel at which the autoexposure works.
'''AutoExp fracpix''' - number of pixels below the Autoexp level.
'''AutoExp frame ahead''' - number of previous frames used for calculatin the current frame exposure.
'''Compression quality''' - JP4/JPEG compression quality.

'''HDR mode''' - at the fps rate the dark and the bright images alternate.

'''Skip Frames Mask''':
0x1ff - frames are not skipped, camera is triggered at '''Trigger period'''.
0x155 - the camera is triggered at '''Trigger period'''/2 but only every other frame is recorded. It makes autoexposure adapt quicker and in the '''HDR mode''' records only normally exposed images skipping the underexposed ones.

Recommended values for 1 fps:
'''Trigger period''' = 1000 (ms)
'''Skip Frames Mask''' = 0x155
'''HDR mode''' = '''On'''

== Downloading IMU/GPS Log ==

*After stopping - go to the '''Settings''' -&gt; '''Recording'''-tab to download the IMU/GPS log.

<br><br>

== Checking the Recorded Footage ==

*Check the footage at the '''Absolute footage path''' - each panorama set should consist of 9 images named with a timestamp of when it was taken plus the index of the camera (seconds_microseconds_index.jp4):
