VRPN streaming unlabeled markers

Post by robotics87 »

Hello!

First of all I would like to thank you for your support, your forum has been quite useful and I found the answers to many of my doubts.

What I tried to do but unfortunately I haven't managed is to understand if it possible to kind of ID the unlabeled markers. The TrackingTools provides labeling them by creating a rigid-body composed of min. 2 markers.

In my specific case I need to compare the offline and online results obtained by CSV and on the other hand, by streaming the markers data with VRPN that I have managed to do. I tried to solve this my using NatNet SDK but as I know Linux is not supported by it. VRPN streams the data by using the rigid-body name, is it possible to stream the data without creating the rigid-body?

Thank you for your reply!

edit: Sorry, just now I've noticed here that this is possible to do only by NatNet SDK.

You can use the NatNet SDK and stream to linux boxes by directly decoding the packets. There should be a sample project called packetclient in the SDK that shows how to do this.

No DLL required.

Alternatively, the new betas of TrackIR should have a marker ID in the CSV, as well.
