How to Calibrate the system (Calibrate button)


MotionSpeed is very simple.
  1. Place the calibration strip in the field of view of the camera and take a short video.
  2. Open the video in MotionSpeed.
  3. Place position points on both ends of the calibration strip, and press the "Calibrate" button. 

The accuracy of the speed calculation depends on how well you placed the points on the end of the meter strip.

Do I need to do this every time ?


No, however the subject-camera distance must remain constant. If this distance changes or you change the zoom of the camera, the calibration needs to be redone.

MotionSpeed saves the calibration information so if you don't  have to recalibrate again after you exit the program.
