 In this tutorial we explain how to perform photometric and geometric calibration of the multi-camera setup and then calibrate the transformations between cameras, IMU and the motion capture marker setup. To make sure the calibration is successful we recommend to rigidly attach markers to the camera as shown on the figure above.

 **Important for recording the dataset:**
 * Set the `skip_frames` slider to 1 to use the full framerate.
 * Reduce the exposure time to reduce the motion blur.
-* Move the setup such that all axis of accelerometer and gyro are exited. This means moving with acceleration along X, Y and Z axis and rotating around those axes.

 ## Generating Time-Aligned Ground Truth
 Since motion capture system and the PC where the dataset was recorded might not have the same clock we need to perform the time synchronization. Additionally we need to transform the coordinate frame of the GT data to the IMU frame (originally it is in the coordinate frame attached to the markers).
 
-The raw motion capture data is stored in the `mav/mocap0/` folder. We can find the time offset by minimizing the error between gyro measurements and rotational velocities computed from the motion capture data. The resulting trajectory (time aligned and transformed to the IMU frame) will be written to `mav/gt/` and automatically loaded when available.
