Switch from IR to visible
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:04 am
Hello, I work for a spanish company and we were interested in the OptiTrack FLEX:V100R2-FS cameras.
We had a question. This model allows to capture images in both infrared and visible, is that right? Well, in your web page you say that you can switch from visible (Grayscale) to infrared and from infrared to visible by software, using the tracking tools. We would like to switch using our own software, so we would need an API. Would that be possible?
Another question: We want to detect lightpoints in the images captured by the camera. We can do it by capturing all the frames and analyzing them, but that means a lot of CPU usage, specially if you got many cameras connected to you PC. Is there any option in the camera that allows you to "ask" if the camera is detecting any lightpoint, and the position in pixels of these lightpoints, at a certain time? That would solve some big problems because that way we would not have to analyse every single frame from all the cameras to detect these lightpoints.
Thank you very much!
