| Camera Parameter Control |
- Acquire and color process images using a variety of different
color processing algorithms
- Stream images off of the camera for the purposes of viewing.
- Control the level of JPEG compression being applied by the Ladybug2 or Ladybug3.
- Access images in Ladybug2 and Ladybug3 stream files located on the host computer.
- Display fully stitched panoramic and spherical images.
- Access other camera settings and information, including:
- Auto exposure
- Gain
- Shutter
- White balance
- Frame rate
- Image Stabilization
- Independent sensor control

| Graphics Rendering |
- Rectification, stitching and blending are done live on the graphics card.
- The SDK takes advantage of the OpenGL computer graphics library to texture map the inside of an OpenGL sphere or cylinder, which can then be rendered.
- Rendering options include a virtual camera view from the inside of the sphere or a panoramic rendering of the sphere. Hardware acceleration of the rendering can be achieved on most modern graphics cards.

| Coordinate System Overview |
- Effective warping and stitching of the images produced
by the camera system’s six sensors is achieved through
accurate calibration of the physical location and orientation
of the sensors and the distortion model of the lens.
- The Ladybug software manages the camera coordinate system
by breaking it down into seven right-handed coordinate frames
of one of two types: six independent image sensor coordinate
frames and a camera coordinate frame.
