Tracking tool capturing volume

Post by m27 »

I would like to know the maximum volume that can be tracked with tracking tool and eight cameras.

If you have a 20ft(l) x 20ft(w) setup space, it should be possible to get a 10ft(l) x 10ft(w) capture volume (subject to camera positioning).

Please see the diagrams on this page :

Note that it may be necessary to use 4 x OptiHubs to spread the cameras that far apart, instead of the normal 2 x OptiHubs that would normally be used with that many cameras.

There may be ways to increase the volume some more depending on what the tracking requirements are. Things which would play a role in that are how large and how many rigid bodies will be in the volume, whether the object that the rigid bodies are attached to is likely to occlude them, and how much accuracy & resolution is required.
