Optimize OptiTrack accuracy in various lighting environments
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2025 2:39 am
Hello NaturalPoint community,
I am testing the OptiTrack system in a lab with uneven lighting conditions: some areas are very bright, some are a bit dark. My goal is to maintain the highest tracking accuracy for both fast and slow motion.
I encountered some specific problems:
Some markers are lost or jitter when the lighting changes continuously.
Calibration in complex environments takes a long time but the results are still unstable.
I don't know how to optimize the settings to avoid marker blurring and maintain a high frame rate.
I hope everyone can share their experiences:
Calibration methods in complex lighting environments.
How to place cameras and markers to reduce jitter.
Tuning software/firmware to make tracking smoother.
I believe that exchanging experiences will help the OptiTrack user community improve the quality of tracking data.
Thank you everyone in advance!
