In DAVID, you need to adjust camera settings (exposure, brightness, gain, …) manually. However, DAVID can read and remember those settings for three different situations:
DAVID has three buttons that lead you to the camera settings. DAVID remembers those settings three times (separately for the three “situations”) and sends them back to the camera when you e.g. move between the calibration and scanning page or when you switch between scanning and texture grabbing.
This feature depends very much on the camera drivers. If this feature makes problems with your hardware, you can switch it off: After you select a camera, DAVID askes you whether you want to allow this or not.
To switch this feature on or off, just select a different camera (e.g. Video Grabber), then select your camera, and you can choose “Yes” or “No” again.
The following lists are supposed to contain information about different camera models, driver versions, and how well DAVIDs camera parameter management works with them.
Please share experiences with your camera here!
