Any Idea why I'm getting an error?

I'm running the 32bit free version
Canon 7D connected via USB directly connected to David
acer K132
Win 7 64bit via VMWare fusion 5 on a Macbook Pro

Hmm, your printouts seem to be fixed pretty wavy. The calibration target has to fit to a virtual model and a virtual model, in most cases, is pretty accurate.

I prefer to run DAVID on my MAC on a WIN installation via Bootcamp - but maybe that's not the problem.

So perhaps recreate the cal panels?

Projector should enlighten just the dots and not beyond. Camera should not see beyond the dots. In fact, if the camera can see all the 6 markers and a few dots around it, you can still calibrate.

Hi 3Der
My experience as a calibration point the panel! If you are not 90 degrees can not be calibrated. Many test confirms this. The frequency of car pick out of favor not selected.

Hello 3Der,
as MagWeb wrote, the first thing to fix is the sheet with the dots. Looks too much weavy. so:
- make the calibration panels perfectly at 90°;
- be sure the sheet/s with amrkers are perfectly flat;
- decrease a little the brightness of the projector in order to see better, in the camera, the projected sines (now are barely good, maybe only the white stripes looks a little too much bright).

If still don't work, please move the camera or the projector in other positions and try again. In the first attempts, make the angle between camera and projector at least = or > of 30°.
