Missing sections of data

Post by cmmurphy »

Hello all,

I'm not sure what is happening, with 2.1.2 we have been getting takes missing huge chunks of data across all markers simultaneously. As if the system shut down for a few frames.

Has anyone else been getting this? It seems to happen at random frames and random amounts. Re-calibrating doesn't seem to prevent it from happening.

Hi cmmurphy,

Sometimes a machine may not be able to keep up with the full frame rate of the cameras, and process every single frame. In those cases, you would see the 3D is missing, such as in your graph, while the 2D camera data is continuous. You can check your 2D data to see if the markers are still present during those small gaps you are experiencing. If that is the case, you will just need to reconstruct the data while in Edit mode. As long as the 2D is there, the 3D can be processed again.

Post Process Reconstruction

I hope this helps. If you require any further assistance, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Best,
Steven

I conducted a test to see if the 2D data was lost, and it appears that on the scene below it is for a tic. We have a 12 camera system and camera 10 cuts out a few frames before all markers are gone in the scene for a few more frames, then it comes back.

In the top image all markers are gone in the tracking space.
In the next image markers are back but no tracking on cam 10
Third image is the resulting data gap.

Note: Cameras 2,5,8, and 11 are not in a position to see the subject but they are working fine.
