STOC USERS MANUAL ©2005 VIDERE DESIGN
In MSW Windows, execute the file bin\setup_dcs.bat. This will
copy svsdcs.dll/lib as the interface libraries.
Under Linux, copy the following file in the bin/ directory:
dcscap.so -> libsvscap.so (Linux)
You can check that the correct interface library is installed, by looking at
the information text when the capture application is started. It should say
“DCS digital stereo interface”. If not, the wrong interface library is
installed in svsgrab.dll or libsvscap.so.
The directory structure for the software is:
bin/
smallv(.exe)
smallvcal(.exe)
smallvmat(.exe)
svsgrab.dll/lib
libsvscap.so
interface libraries
stereo calculation libraries
src/
flwin.cpp
image_io.cpp
svsclass.h
svs.h
flwin.h
samples/
smallv.cpp
fldispx.cpp
*.dsw, *.dsp, makefile
There are several applications – see the SVS User’s Manual for more
information. The source code for all applications is included in the
distribution. The stereo calculation libraries are also included, so that user
applications can link to them. The calibration libraries are not included; the
only way to run the SVS calibration procedures is through the
smallvcal(.exe) application.
smallv(.exe) is a GUI-based application that allows the user to
exercise the capture and stereo functions of the STOC/-C. It is described in
earlier sections of this document.
smallvmat(.exe) is similar to smallv, with the addition of a MatLab
interface for sending images and stereo information to MatLab. You must
have installed the R13 release of MatLab to run this program. There is also
a version of SVS that can be invoked directly from MatLab – again, see the
SVS User’s Manual.
smallvcal(.exe) is the same as smallv, with the addition of a
calibration package for calibrating a stereo rig. Use this application to
perform calibration on your stereo system.
stcap(.exe) is a simple application that connects to the stereo head and
displays images. It can serve as a template for user programs that integrate
stereo capture from the STOC/-C.
stdisp(.exe) is a simple application that connects to the stereo head,
grabs images and performs stereo analysis, and displays the results. It can
serve as a template for user programs that integrate stereo capture and
computation from the STOC/-C.
