In this paper, we provide a simple workflow and user-friendly graphical tools consisting of a new open-source software package named Argus, aimed at overcoming the hardware and software challenges of synchronization, lens distortion and analysis of multi-camera 3D videography with consumer-grade cameras. Second, means of coping with very wide angle, high distortion lenses is often required, especially with compact, high performance, ruggedized designs (e.g. First, without hardware synchronization, an alternative means of synchronizing consumer-grade video cameras is needed. Such consumer-grade cameras would provide a much more affordable solution for field studies of motion if two key limitations can be overcome. ![]() Furthermore, these consumer-grade systems are designed for stand-alone operation in outdoor field settings and are capable of longer recording durations than laboratory cameras. Recent technological advancements and consumer demand have resulted in high-quality consumer-grade video and digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras capable of moderately high-speed (≤250 frames s −1) video, in color and at resolutions comparable to or better than costly laboratory cameras from five years ago. In addition to cost, laboratory-grade cameras are rarely designed for field use, are often sensitive to dust, water and mechanical forces, may be quite heavy, and often require external power and cabling that limit their deployment. (2014) represent an affordable alternative to several commercially available packages however, the workflow still assumes the use of two costly tools: (1) laboratory-grade cameras with hardware frame synchronization between multiple cameras, and (2) a MATLAB (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA) environment. The open source software implementations of Theriault et al.
