 Once the grid has been marked, the calibration can be performed by the press button '''[APPLY]'''. We observe that the simple option 'rescale' is not appropriate in this case: a perspective effect is clearly visible, together with a non-linear deformation (grid lines are curved on the image). Therefore select the option '3D_quadr' which applies a 3D projection and quadratic correction. The grid image now appears of good quality in phys coordinates. 
 
-Durind the calibration, some intrinsic parameters are determined and shown in [Intrinsic Parameters] in '''geometry_calib'''. These are the focal lenghts (in pixels on the captor) '''[fx]''' and '''[fy]''', the coordinates of the principal point center '''[Cx]''' and '''[Cy]''' and the radial distortion coefficient (due to the quadratic calibration) '''[kc]'''.
 
 '''Note:''' if the serie is missing some images (ie the increment from one image to another is not steady), '''uvmat''' will not allow you to use the arrow '''[->]''' to move from an image to another if the increment is set. To avoid this delete the number in [increment], you will then be able to go from an image to another.

+The calibration of previous section provides 3D information thanks to the inclination of the calibration grid, but the precision is not optimum, and the process would not converge for a grid perpendicular to the line of view. A more precise procedure consists in first determining the intrinsic parameters by mutiple views of the same grid with different inclinations, as shown in the example **.

 The 3D options involve a full 3D calibration relying on the [attachment:3D_view.pdf pinhole camera model] (see [wiki:UvmatHelp#GeometryCalib] section 8.1).
 
 Once the grid image is correctly set, click on the '''[APPEND LIST]''' button in '''[Point Lists]'''. This will save the grid as 'img~.xml'. This document is saved in the same folder as the image. To open this document select '''[Import.../Calibration points]'''.

 Now that the calibration is made for the first image we need to do it for the other ones (you can also open the different grids 'img.ref~.xml' to skip the calibration). Once a document is open, the grid is shown in '''uvmat''', to save it in the '''[Point Lists]''' click on '''[APPEND LIST]''', it will appear below the first saved document.
