Tracking Mocap markers in 3D from multiple cameras

I am wondering if there is a way to track mocap(Motion Capture) markers in 3D from multiple cameras using OpenCV.

I am using 8 cameras for tracking and the data I have at hand is video recordings from 8 cameras and camera calibration parameters.

It would be of great help if someone can point somewhere in OpenCV library to start.

Much appreciated

I am also interested in motion capture using opencv. but have not found any prebuild modules. I think we need to start with calibrating many cameras together, like our NaturalPoints (commercial) system does.

It simply does not exist as a prebuilt module :)

Is it possible?

YES it is. Where to start? Look at the specific projects already trying something like this ...

thanks a lot for the reply Steven. I looked at these videos before posting this question, and I found nothing important/relevant to my issue. Let me explain my case a bit better.

I am looking for an openCV module that does calibration from multiple cameras
Track mocap markers placed on the mouse in 3D from multiple cameras.

have a look at a screenshot in the link below https://prnt.sc/geg6gy

Wait wait, the only difference is that you need to localize the marker and your marker is different, but for the rest the movies give you the exact solution...

I am new to OpenCV and have no idea what localizing a marker is can you point me somewhere or explain me in simple words

srikanthb ( 2017-09-04 04:21:55 -0600 )edit

Localising is exactly what the word says, tracking is unrelated to the detection and finding the location of the marker is...

still confusing to me. can you point me to some technical documentation in OpenCV that does this

srikanthb ( 2017-09-04 04:28:33 -0600 )edit

No because it is NOT a specific task for OpenCV. It seems to me you need to start with learning general computer vision concepts...
