imager coordinates <> sensor resolution

Post by suhl79 »

Hi

I use SDK 1.3.038 and V120:slim camera. SDK manual says that I can read object coordinates within 355x290 range, but the camera sensor resolution is stated to be 640x480. sCameraObject structure has X and Y coordinates declared as float type. Am I right that coordinates from camera sensor are scalled to these given by SDK with float precision? Is that the way it works?

Thanks.

Cameras with 640x480 sensor resolution the SDK will return coordinates in the 640x480 range. The coordinates will not be down-scaled to smaller sizes.

Where in the SDK docs does it say the coordinate range will be limited to 355x290?

OptiTrackAPI_1.1.037.doc section 3.9. - I suppose the manual had been written before your company provided camera with bigger imagers to the market.
I've found out that API realy returns real imager coordinates, but I had made my assumption before that and just after reading manual.
Thanks for the answer.
