Since there is no inter-frame tracking the point cloud software will only return information about the markers found in the current frame. This also means there is no guarantee markers will be delivered in the same order from one frame to the next (no sorting).

The returned data would look like this :
3,timestamp,X,Y,Z,X,Y,Z,X,Y,Z
2,timestamp,X,Y,Z,X,Y,Z

If the second marker lost tracking it would still be:

2,timestamp,X,Y,Z,X,Y,Z

The library does not do any sorting or attempt to identify markers.

Are there any plans add this functionality? Or another toolkit that does this?

Yes, our ARENA motion capture software will label points and provide labeled output. We don't plan on adding this functionality to the Point Cloud tool.

With the Rigid Body Toolkit we're planning on reporting identified markers but they will have to be in 'clusters' as part of rigid bodies.
