Tracking Tools - single camera?

Post by carpetfluff »

We bought a single Flex 13 camera and an OptiHub, originally for use with the Camera SDK, and we would now like to purchase a license for Tracking Tools to perform single camera tracking.

However, the technical specifications page states that the minimum number of cameras required for use with Tracking Tools is two. Will we be unable to use Tracking Tools unless we purchase another camera? If so, why would this be necessary when your tutorials page demonstrates single camera tracking algorithms?

The 2 camera minimum for Tracking Tools refers to 3D tracking using our rigid body solver. You can definitely operate a single camera with Tracking Tools, including use of the single-camera tracking algorithms.
