How can I perform a calibration check of my camera?
A camera calibration check can be performed with the calibration card by going into "Settings" -> "Calibration" -> "Calibrate".
To ensure optimal performance and data reliability, it is highly advised that the user performs regular calibration checks of the camera. This allows the HarvestEye monitoring team to evaluate the condition of the camera. Sensors in suboptimal condition can compromise sizing accuracy of crop data.
Please follow these steps to carry out a calibration check:
- Place the red and black checkerboard card that came with the system on the belt, directly beneath the camera.
- On the home page of the tablet, click "Settings" -> "Calibration" -> "Calibrate". Once this button is pressed, the system will display measurements on the screen. These measurements are automatically uploaded to the cloud.
Calibration checks should be completed in the following scenarios:
- First-time system installation.
- Whenever relocating the system to a different harvester or grading line.
- At least annually if the system remains in a fixed location.
Regular calibration safeguards your data quality, ensuring consistent grading and actionable insight for your operations.
