Hi everybody!
I’m asking if anyone have expertise with IR tracking cameras.
I’m working on an extensive interactive installation, for an optimal area coverage I should use at least 15 kinects , so i’ve think that IR cameras would work for me.
After a looong an deeeep search in Derivative Forum and Wiki, after downloading a lot of datasheets and techspecs, i need to know what kind of devices are really supported before purchasing the wrong one.
The wiki reports compatibility with Allied Vision - GigE version, Imaging Source Software and Imaging Development System, apart from the typical Datapath and Blackmagic acquiring cards.
Anyone could help me? Any kind of suggestion still accepted!
bumping as I was just digging around too - specifically for some ideas about support and GigE cameras and what some folks experiences are with some different brands (ie Allied vs Imaging Source) Ill be looking for something with near-IR sensitivity for an overhead tracking situation.
I am interested in other IR Cameras besides the Kinect. This lens would be great for an installation I’m proposing. Is there support for getting IR image and depth with these?
We had them put native NatNet support in. Works well. There’s always some shenanigans with communications, and I’ve started to put a tiny network on the machine running optitrack motive that turns the data to a touch out to get it on multiple machines.
Also worth checking out Point Grey cameras. We have good communication with them now so should be able to address any issues that arise if you are using them.
We have support for FlyCapture and Spinnaker SDKs and have not tried any of their stereo cameras which use a different SDK. I was mentioning them in comparison to the IDS you linked to, which appears a standard 2D camera at first glance.
