C# SDK - questions about SetOption method
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:24 am
I am a student using the Single Camera C# .NET 3.0 SDK to try and create a simple program used for tracking a single object (eye movements). One of my first goals is to reduce the number of objects that the camera creates while in infrared video mode, so that when I try to write object data as a .csv file (comma separated values, opens in excel), I'm not writing data about a bunch of objects that are really just the fringes of a single object.
In the beginning the CameraView class, several member variables are defined so that they may be used later in the code:
Some of these variables are initialized into values that, as actual NPCamera options, they cannot hold. This is fine... because they will not actually be set to those values when the NPCamera interface calls the method to SetOption()
Most of these options are set during the StartCamera() method in the CameraView class, by referencing
I believe this to be a variable of type NPCamera (referenced through the OptiTrack() method).
So here is the code for the variable Camera:
And here is the code for the StartCamera() method:
Now, I want to edit the camera option NP_OPTION_OBJECT_CAP.
So in the very beginning of the CameraView class I create and define the variable to it's default value (500 max objects).
Then I try to add this line into the StartCamera() method, right next to all the others.
When I do the above, I get an error that says:
XAMLParseException was unhandled
and the details of this error are:
I have also tried setting this option the same way as the SetOverlayOption() method is called during the StartCamera() method by creating a SetObjectCap() method, with internal code and created variables that are appropriately mirrored in the format of the SetOverlayOption() method.
Any help on how to actually set the NP_OPTION_OBJECT_CAP would be greatly appreciated as I cannot find any explicit info on how to do this in the OptiTrackAPI document that comes with the SDK.
In the beginning the CameraView class, several member variables are defined so that they may be used later in the code:
Code: Select all
private const int NP_OPTION_OBJECT_COLOR_OPTION = 3;
private const int NP_OPTION_VIDEO_TYPE = 48;
private const int NP_OPTION_NUMERIC_DISPLAY_ON = 71;
Most of these options are set during the StartCamera() method in the CameraView class, by referencing
Code: Select all
public OptiTrack.NPCamera Camera So here is the code for the variable Camera:
Code: Select all
public OptiTrack.NPCamera Camera
{
get { return mCamera; }
set
{
if (mCamera == value) return; //== Don't do anything if you're assigning the same camera ==
if (mCamera != null)
{
//== Shut the selected camera down ==<<
if (CameraRunning)
{
CameraRunning = false;
mCamera.Stop();
mCamera.FrameAvailable -= FrameAvailable;
}
}
mCamera = value;
if (mCamera == null)
{
mNumeric = -1;
}
else
{
serialLabel.Content = "Camera "+mCamera.SerialNumber.ToString(); //mNumeric.ToString();
}
And here is the code for the StartCamera() method:
Code: Select all
public void StartCamera()
{
if (Camera != null)
{
mFrameCounter = 0;
mDisplayCounter = 0;
Camera.FrameAvailable += FrameAvailable;
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_VIDEO_TYPE, 2);
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_FRAME_DECIMATION,1);
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_INTENSITY, 0);
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_EXPOSURE, 10);
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_THRESHOLD, 50);
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_OBJECT_COLOR_OPTION, 0);
SetOverlayOption();
SetGreyscaleOption();
timer1.Start();
Camera.Start();
CameraRunning = true;
this.Numeric = mNumeric;
startStopButton.Content = "Stop Camera";
}
Now, I want to edit the camera option NP_OPTION_OBJECT_CAP.
So in the very beginning of the CameraView class I create and define the variable to it's default value (500 max objects).
Code: Select all
private const int NP_OPTION_OBJECT_CAP = 500
Code: Select all
Camera.SetOption(NP_OPTION_OBJECT_CAP, 10);
