4.3 (Important)Installation Precautions
4.3.1 Recommended installation method
When installing the 3D vision camera,special clearance treatment must be carried out for the clearance range shown in the diagram.No objects are allowed to exist within this range.If there are any objects intruding into the clearance range,it will directly cause interference to the point cloud data of the equipment,and then lead to a series of problems such as noise in the picture,false obstacle detection,and abnormal data.

4.3.2 Reasons for camera malfunction
If the camera is installed in an improper environment,it may interfere with the core working principles such as time-of-flight measurement and triangulation,thereby causing a series of usage abnormalities.The specific reasons are as follows:
1、Improper hardware installation:Physical obstruction and field of view(FOV)clipping
The frame,ribs and other structural components of the sensor intrude into the nominal field of view,or the installation is eccentric or the opening is too small,resulting in the field of view being cropped and the sensor misidentifying the structural components as targets.The typical manifestations are fixed blind spots,false close-range distance measurement,and field of view compression,which can lead to missed obstacle detection by the equipment,incorrect path judgment,and reduced perception reliability.
2、Optical interference:Near-field infrared crosstalk and reflection
This is the most common cause of failure.Abnormal reflection and crosstalk of infrared light due to narrow installation space mainly fall into three categories:
First,the inner wall reflection causes multipath interference.The infrared light is reflected multiple times by the inner walls of the structural components before being received,which changes the detection time and distorts the calculated distance.
Second,highly reflective surfaces can cause local failure.Materials with high gloss and smoothness(such as polished metal and mirrors)produce specular reflection,resulting in local signal reception failure or overexposure and saturation.
Thirdly,strong reflection from nearby structures causes high light pollution.When the distance between the sensor and the structural component is less than 10 cm and the material is highly reflective and smooth,the strong reflected light leads to saturation of the receiver.The phase of the iToF camera is disrupted by the high light,making it impossible to calculate the flight time.Such interference can cause data distortion,accelerate the aging of the receiver,and affect the core functions of the device.
3、Optical interference:Interference at the optical window
The material and cleanliness of the optical windows such as the protective glass in front of the sensor can cause interference,which mainly falls into three categories:
First,multiple reflections cause artifact interference.Reflections from the inner and outer surfaces of the window form artifacts that mix with the effective signals,resulting in ghosting and flying points in the depth map,as well as repeated points in the LiDAR point cloud.
Second,contamination and fogging lead to a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio.In a confined space,the window is prone to fogging and dust accumulation,making it difficult for the sensor to identify valid signals.
Thirdly,mismatched materials can cause signal attenuation.Signals may not be able to penetrate ordinary glass or acrylic,resulting in the loss of all data.Window interference can increase measurement errors,damage the lens,and increase maintenance costs.Replacing with high-transparency glass can improve the situation.
4、Other implicit influencing factors
First,installation stress: Excessive tightness of the snap-on mechanism causes slight deformation of the lens and misalignment of the optical axis. Misalignment of the optical axis of the ToF camera leads to distance measurement errors.
Second,thermal interference:Poor heat dissipation in a confined space causes temperature rise of the sensor and thermal deformation of the window,leading to distance measurement drift and large-scale failure over a long period.

5.1.1 Camera power supply
Insert one end of the DC power cable into the DC power interface of the camera and connect the other end to a DC power adapter.
Observe the power indicator light of the camera.When the indicator light flashes slowly in blue,it indicates that the power-on is normal.
If the indicator light does not light up or shows an abnormality(such as a constantly lit red light),please check whether the power interface is securely plugged in and whether the power adapter is powered on.
5.1.2 Network configuration
Connect the communication interface of the camera directly to the network port of the computer using Category 6 network cable.
The camera's default factory IP address is 192.168.100.82.
Set the computer's IP address in the same network segment as the camera and turn off the computer's firewall.
5.1.3 Run the software
Run the accompanying upper computer software,obtain the camera image,check if the image is clear,free of screen flickering or lagging,and confirm that the connection is normal.
Please refer to the interface description in 5.3 or the user manual of the LxCameraViewer upper computer software for usage.
If you have any other questions,please contact Myer Microvision sales or technical support for further assistance.
5.2 Interface description

After opening the camera,a right-side function bar(area 3)appears on the interface.You can click on the top menus"Basic Tools","Apply Algorithm",and"Others"to access the required functions.Among them,the Basic Tools offer functions such as image display,2D settings,3D settings,and filtering.

Figure 8 Overview of the software interface(with camera open)
The device list is located at the top left corner of the interface.Clicking on the text"Open"or"Close"can turn the camera on or off.The device list is in the middle of the left side of the interface and displays camera information, software operations,operation results,and stream acquisition results.The device information is at the bottom left corner of the interface,showing the relevant information of the currently selected device in the device list.
Clicking the"Collect"button starts or stops the image collection.The button will be unavailable until the current operation is completed.Clicking the"Single Save"button saves the image of the currently active stream data.Checking the"Depth Map","Intensity Map","RGB",and"Point Cloud"checkboxes enables the collection of images in the desired formats as needed.
For more detailed information,please refer to the LxCameraViewer PC software user manual.
6 Frequently Asked Questions
No. | Question | Explanation |
1 | The camera does not respond when turned on. | The firewall settings need to be checked and adjusted to ensure that the camera communication is not being intercepted. |
2 | The upper computer detected multiple IP addresses. | Due to IP address conflicts within the local area network, it is necessary to manually select the correct IP address in order to turn on the camera. |
3 | After turning on the camera, the data flow is unstable. | It is recommended to connect the camera with a gigabit network cable. Using a 100-megabit network cable may result in unstable initial data transmission. |
4 | Software installation location | The default installation is to the C drive. However, due to system permission restrictions, it may cause abnormal operation. It is recommended to choose an installation directory with appropriate read and write permissions. |
