4.5 Web GUI

The rc_visard’s Web GUI can be used to test, calibrate, and conﬁgure on-board processing. It can be accessed

from any web browser, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge, via the sensor’s IP address. The

easiest way to access the Web GUI is to simply double click on the desired device using the rcdiscover-gui

tool as explained in Discovery of rc_visard devices (Section 4.4).

Alternatively, some network environments automatically conﬁgure the unique host name of the rc_visard in their

Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, the Web GUI can also be accessed directly using the URL http:/

/rc-visard-<serial-number> by replacing <serial-number> with the serial number printed on the device

label.

For Linux and Mac operating systems, this even works without DNS via the multicast Domain Name System

(mDNS), which is automatically used if .local is appended to the host name. Thus, the URL simply becomes

http://rc-visard-<serial-number>.local.

The Web GUI’s overview page gives the most important information about on-board processing.

Fig. 4.5.1: Overview page of the rc_visard’s Web GUI

The page’s top row permits access to the individual rc_visard modules.

• The Camera module shows a live stream of the device’s left and right rectiﬁed images. The frame rate can

be reduced to save bandwidth when streaming to a GigE Vision® client. Furthermore, exposure can be set

manually or automatically. See Parameters (Section 6.1.3) for more information.

• The Depth Image module shows a live stream of the left rectiﬁed, depth, and conﬁdence images. The page

contains various settings for depth-image computation and ﬁltering. See Parameters (Section 6.2.4) for

more information.
