Page 19: Calibration Control Points
6.5.4 Calibration Control Points The triangles in the calibration pattern are automatically detected and the Front & Rear Camera View control points are displayed. The software automatically detects the corners of the triangles and derives the coordinates of each image when loaded. The order of the control points starts from the triangle point closest to the vehicle and working clockwise to the other two points. -

6.5.5 Surround View Preview Clicking the “Apply AVM” button will open the surround view “Preview” window. If there is anything wrong with the control points the “Calibration Error” prompt will be displayed with a hint describing which camera is incorrect. This is generally due to two errors: The control points are not correctly aligned. - Page 21 For standard Brigade Calibration Mats, the Length of Marker details do not need to be changed (the default value is 1500mm). For Calibration Mats that are not standard Brigade size, enter the width of the Calibration Triangle here. Set the Vehicle Dimensions to the dimensions of the vehicle used.
- Page 22 Horizontal and vertical adjustments can be made to remove any camera blind spots (shown in red) or any undesirable image distortion (see bottom left). Once the preferred mask position has been established, check to see that there is no excess vehicle body or camera blind areas (red area) shown.

Page 32: Appendix 1: Surround View Image Blends
Appendix 1: Surround View Image Blends The Backeye 360 HD Calibration Software allows for custom “blends” to create the most suitable 360° surround view image. During the calibration procedure, the “Mask Type” option gives the following options for blending the front, rear and side cameras: ▪... - Page 33 Front or Rear cameras e.g. to avoid front wing mirrors. For the area that the FOV does not need to be adjusted Brigade recommends setting the FOV for that camera to 140° and the Blend Width to 10°, these values may need to be adjusted depending on the calibration but typically give the closest match to the Blend Auto option.
- Page 34 When the “Front” or “Rear FOV” is set to 0° or 180° the When the “Front” or “Rear FOV” is set to any a value “Blending Width” option has no effect since there is no other than 0° or 180° the amount of overlap between overlapping areas, e.g.

Page 35: Appendix 2: Creating Custom Guide Lines
Create the guides as desired and fill the background, including the vehicle size rectangle in black (RGB 0,0,0). Any colour that is RGB 0,0,0 will be deleted by the Backeye 360 HD Calibration Tool. In this example, the Guide Lines have been drawn to the left and right side of the vehicle. - Page 36 In the Backeye 360 HD Calibration Tool, select the view that the Guide Line Overlay will be applied to. In this example the Guide Lines were drawn to the left and right side of the vehicle so the Left Full and Right Full single camera views are selected.
