Frame buffer

Post by rel_21 »

Hello!
Im trying to get an image buffer from the camera and I realized that there's no function or method documented in the SDK to accomplish that.

So, the question is:

How can I get a frame buffer information?

The OptiTrack SDK does not currently provide means for accessing the image which is rendered from the camera data when the display video option is enabled. We will review this as a feature request.

But Im not previewing the video signal... I dont need that. There's no surface pointer to that buffer?

What Im trying to do is an inverse kind of recognition.. making an entire floor or wall of trackable material and take shadows above them as "objects".

Do you have any different ideas to do that with this current SDK?

Unfortunately, accessing the image frame data and tracking inverted (dark objects on bright backgrounds) images are not supported in the current version of the OptiTrack SDK. As mentioned earlier, we will keep these feature requests in mind for our development plans
