pyopticam

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.

Installation

  1. Ensure you are using Python 3.8.10 and you're on Windows
  2. Make a virtual environment with python.exe -m venv .venv, activate venv with .\.venv\Scripts\activate
  3. Install the Optitrack Camera SDK to: C:/Program Files (x86)/OptiTrack/Camera SDK
  4. Clone this repository
  5. Navigate to the top-level pyopticam directory and run pip install -e . (Do not upgrade pip, use pip version 21.1.1)
  6. Find C:/Program Files (x86)/OptiTrack/Camera SDK/lib/CameraLibrary2015x64S.dll and copy it to pyopticam/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.
