This repository contains a comprehensive Python wrapper for the Optitrack Camera SDK using nanobind. It exposes a wide variety of camera manipulation functions, as well as GIL-friendly video and marker retrieval functions for use with numpy.
Requires python >= 3.8. This has only ever been tested with Prime 13W's; different cameras may need some of the hard-coded resolution assumptions updated.
- Ensure you are using Python 3.8.10 and you're on Windows
- Make a virtual environment with
python.exe -m venv .venv, activate venv with.\.venv\Scripts\activate - Install the Optitrack Camera SDK to:
C:/Program Files (x86)/OptiTrack/Camera SDK - Clone this repository
- Navigate to the top-level
pyopticamdirectory and runpip install -e .(Do not upgrade pip, use pip version21.1.1) - Find
C:/Program Files (x86)/OptiTrack/Camera SDK/lib/CameraLibrary2015x64S.dlland copy it topyopticam/src/pyopticam
Afterwards, make sure your Optitrack cameras are accessible on the network, and try the video_viewer.py or the marker_viewer.py example.
