Defining OptiTrack Camera Locations

Proper camera placement is crucial for achieving high-quality tracking and optimizing the efficiency of Traxis Camera Tracking.

Before you start, we recommend the following steps:

• Sketch out your camera placement plans.
• Ensure that marker visibility is maintained throughout the capture process; this is a critical step in minimizing marker occlusions.
• Adjust the camera angles to point towards the body of the Traxis Camera Tracker.
• Divide the setup area into sections to reduce computational workload.
• Position the cameras along the periphery of the Setup Area to track markers both in front of and behind the subject.
• If possible, place the cameras at higher elevations to maximize capture coverage.
• Maintain a consistent distance between the cameras to avoid overlap and reduce computational demands.
• Consider that a longer distance between cameras provides more coverage for larger setups, while a shorter distance offers more accurate tracking, especially when making lens focus adjustments.
