DeepWater Desktop Quickstart

Open DeepWater Desktop

Unzip and open the downloaded dwd-{version}-{platform}-x86 archive. If you haven’t received one, contact our team at support@dwe.ai. Execute the run script to start the program.

• Linux
• Windows

cd dwd-v1.0.0-linux-x86
./run.sh

The batch file can be double-clicked from the File Explorer, or run in PowerShell:

cd dwd-v1.0.0-win-x86
.\run.bat

Connect to the SVC Pro

192.168.2.2 is the default IP Address. If you changed it, make sure you input the correct address of your SVC Pro. Refer to the SVC Pro - Getting Started Guide.

Add a Stream

Select the plus icon next server address to add a stream.

Configure the Stream

After adding a stream, the stream configuration stream should pop up on screen. Depending on your requirements, you may want to configure the stream differently.Generally, you can consult the following tables:

Depth Mode	Resolution	Description
ML Slow	800 x 600	Flagship ML model designed for highly accurate live instantaneous measurements.
ML Medium	600 x 450	Designed for moderately accurate measurements while improving FPS.
ML Fast	400 x 300	Designed for more limited systems or for high FPS requirements.
SGM	800 x 600 or 400 x 300	Traditional computer vision algorithm that does not use machine learning or AI. Ideal for SLAM applications.

Input Type	Description
USB	Select your attached explore3D or other compatible hardware for live processing.
DWVO File	1:1 Recordings of the original hardware feed. Playback simply reruns the image sequences through the processing algorithm to allow playback.

Network Protocol	Description
Depth Only	Generate a depth map and point cloud from the current frame.
Coverage Mapping (VSLAM)	Track camera movement and build a dense point cloud from the image stream. Go to Coverage Mapping for an in-depth usage guide.

Next, you can select the calibration file. By default, it will have the correct calibration selected. If you have any custom calibration files, they will also appear here.

• USB
• DWVO

Please select the left camera (typically the Leader if in Leader-Follower mode), followed by the right camera. For modularity, the cameras do not store their positional data, so you will need to configure the sides manually.

Select a DWVO file from the list, then click Start Stream in the bottom right corner.If your recording has reversed camera inputs, check the Swap left and right inputs box to correct them.

Success!
