 If the grid image is of poor quality, it is alternatively possble to mark all the points by the mouse, using the '''[!Tools/Create]''' grid instead of '''[!Tools/Detect grid]''' in geometry_calib (not convenient in general).
 
-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.

The intrinsic parameters are shown in the frame '''[Intrinsic Parameters] '''in the GUI '''geometry_calib'''. These are the focal lenghts (in pixel size on the sensor) '''[fx]''' and '''[fy]''',  the quadratic radial distortion coefficient '''[kc]''' and the coordinates '''[Cx]''' and '''[Cy]''' of the optical centre for this distortion (expressed in pixels on the image).

Note that the calibration grid has been assumed by default to be at z=0, but this can be changed by selecting '''[!Tools/Translate points]''' in '''geometry_calib''' and entering a translation in ''z'' for the grid point coordinates.

+A last''' '''item needed to define calibration in a 3D context is the determination of the plane of the object in the phys coordinates. It is assumed by default to be the plane z=0, but this can be changed by the menu bar option '''[!Tools/Set slice] '''of uvmat. It is then possible to change the assumed z position, keeping the same calibration. Observe the corresponding change in the grid scale, since the same grid is then assumed to be at a different distance.

 Open su 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).

 '''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.
