Can't load camera parameters from 'data/camera_para.dat'.

[skougiou]

Hello,

The post's title describes pretty much what the problem is. I have successfully compiled and built Artoolkit 2.7.2 , OSG 2.8.2 and OSGart 2 RC3 using visual studio 2008. I have tested ARtoolkit and OpenSceneGraph to make sure that they are functional. All projects are built under 'Release' configuration.

I am not expert with C++ so please don't shoot.

When trying to run the example osgartSimple , the window for the camera configuration shows up , I select the desired settings and when pressing OK I get the following message --

osgART::ARToolKitCalibration::init : Error: Can't load camera parameters from 'data/camera_para.dat'.
Non existing or incompatible calibration file

I have copied the Data folder inside the bin directory of my solution but the program doesn't seem to find it.
Any ideas would be really appreciated..I have spent 2 weeks to get it all running..
Thanks!

I have the same problem, but instead of looking to solve the problem i bypassed it
Simply go to the build folder (bin,debug/release) where your exe is compiled and run it from the folder (assuming you have the required files in there). I used the folder where visual compiled the example files, where osgartSimple is located among others, works fine
By required files I mean the data folder, the plugin folder and the required dll files!
