There are several applications. 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 STH-MDCS/-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.

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 STH-MDCS/-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 STH-MDCS/-C.

libsvscap.so and svsgrab.lib/dll are the capture libraries for

Linux and MS Windows, respectively. These libraries must be set to the

correct ones for the MEGA-DCS.

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 files 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.
