Three-Marker Camera Calibration
“Our OptiTrack system, using the 3 point calibration engine, is producing some of the cleanest data I've seen. It’s cleaner than data I have regularly extracted from industry-standard systems that cost five to 10 times as much.”
—Bradley Friedman
Director of Software and Pipeline, Method Studios
As of Spring 2010, ARENA, Expression, and Tracking Tools now include an improved calibration algorithm and UI, enabling superior tracking accuracy and radically more flexible volume configuration.
Features
- Improved tracking and accuracy
- Better coverage near capture volume edges
- More flexible camera arrangements
- Exceptional ray convergence and volume uniformity
- Calibration results shown real-time during solving
- Real-time visualization of wanding, volume size, and error*
- Continue to refine calibration in the background during tracking, and apply the results at any time*
Requirements
OptiWand, our three-marker calibration wand
OptiWand- ARENA/Expression 1.6+ or Tracking Tools 2.2+ software (see software downloads page)
