Q: Do I need to calibrate the system ?

No. iDigit calibrates each picture individually using the white circles on the iDigit board as reference.In case of digitising thick material like plywood, some adjustments will be applied depending on the thickness of the templates.Also, in case you’re using your own camera or mobile phone which doesn’t exist in iDigit’s existing camera library, we will integrate it for you in order to fine tune the system for your device.

Q: Does the camera need to be fixed ?

That depends on the iDigit model and what configuration it’s used in. For instance iDigit Plus always requires the camera to be fixed on the stand.On the other hand, if the iDigit board is fixed on a wall then it’s possible to hold the camera by hand or mount it on a tripod.In case of using a flat-laid iDigit board, fixing the camera above the board is the way to go.

Q: Does the iDigit board have to be installed near the computer where the software is installed ?

No. It can be installed elsewhere. In fact some of our clients have their iDigit software and boards installed in different countries. The team who has the board take pictures and email them to the other team who has the software for digitising them.

Question 1

What accuracy can I expect?

Accepted Answer

With iDigit boards smaller than 200 cm the accuracy is within a millimeter, whereas with large XL boards accuracy can be within two millimeters. For sub-millimetric accuracy, our 90x60 cm board can be used. Alternatively, you can use your scanner to acquire photos, then open them in iDigit. This provides very high accuracy (< 0.25 mm) for high-precision requirements.
