Single camera tracking

When possible, you should ensure points can be seen in two or more cameras., However, in some situations a marker gets occluded and can only be seen in one camera. To handle these situations, Vicon CaraPost has the ability to track points using only a single camera.

In the following example from the supplied ROM take, you can see a single camera track on the marker rJaw. It is displayed in orange in the Selected Point view.

Single camera tracking is used by the automatic tracker when a point is seen by only one camera. It is also used when you click Track Forwards [Single Frame]. If a point becomes visible again in two cameras, the tracking reverts to multi-camera tracking.

Single camera tracking works automatically when only one camera can see a point. You may notice that a 3D trajectory jumps when a second camera picks up a point. If this happens, it may be worth using Interpolated Fill as described in Interpolated gap filling.
