Camera problems
When the camera does not show what you expect.
Pages in this section
- Camera not detected: the device dropdown does not show your camera.
- Overlay does not line up: camera image and workspace are out of register.
- Frame is rotated: the captured frame appears at the wrong orientation.
- Camera mapping fails: the point set is rejected or fits poorly.
Setup matters
Camera placement issues usually trace back to the initial setup:
- Align the overlay to move, scale, and rotate the frame over the workspace.
- Optionally Map the camera with known point pairs.
Manual adjustment and Camera Mapping use a simple scale, rotation, and translation. Camera Alignment also corrects perspective and can estimate radial lens distortion. Neither workflow tracks camera movement or automatically compensates for material-height changes. Disable mirrored camera feeds before alignment.
