3d tracking, track clip ?

Hi,

I want to use the optitracl system to track a 3D object... I've read some subject il this forum and I'm a little bit confused..

My question is:

Should we necesserly have the track clip to have the 3D position of the dots? or we have the position automaticly?

HOw should I do if I want to track a box to have its 6DOF?

thanks,
Malek

no answer??

I would know also the intrinsic parameter of th used camera!

Using the 2d 3d correspondance, I want to compute the extrinsic parameters.
So, WHat are the intrinsic parameters of the camera used in optitrack system and what is its model?

thanks

Currently the only way to track 6DOF position using the OptiTrack SDK is with a Vector Clip and the INPVector/INPVector2 feature. We are working on an upcoming solution which will calculate the intrinisc and extrinsic parameters and allow for multi-camera 3D tracking.

Based on the date of your post, it is most likely that you are referring to the OptiTrack FLEX-3. The stock lens for that camera has a Effective Focal Length of 3.4mm. We do not have any distortion information available for it, so you will need to calculate that on your own.
