Detailed Description

Parameters for positional tracking initialization.

A default constructor is enabled and set to its default parameters.
You can customize it to fit your application and then save it to create a preset that can be loaded for further executions.

Note
Parameters can be user adjusted.

Constructor and Destructor

◆ TrackingParameters()

TrackingParameters ( Transform  init_pos = Transform(),
bool  _enable_memory = true,
bool  _enable_pose_smoothing = false,
String  _area_path = String(),
bool  _set_floor_as_origin = false,
bool  _enable_imu_fusion = true,
bool  _set_as_static = false 
)
inline

Default constructor. Sets all parameters to their default and optimized values.

Functions

◆ save()

bool save ( String  filename)

Saves the current set of parameters into a file.

Parameters
filenamethe path to the file in which the parameters will be stored.
Returns
true if the file was successfully saved, otherwise false.

◆ load()

bool load ( String  filename)

Loads the values of the parameters contained in a file.

Parameters
filenamethe path to the file from which the parameters will be loaded.
Returns
true if the file was successfully loaded, otherwise false.

Variables

◆ initial_world_transform

Transform initial_world_transform

Position of the camera in the world frame when the camera is started. By default, it should be identity.
Use this Transform to place the camera frame in the world frame.
default: Identity matrix.

Note
The camera frame (which defines the reference frame for the camera) is by default positioned at the world frame when tracking is started.

◆ enable_spatial_memory

bool enable_spatial_memory

This mode enables the camera to remember its surroundings. This helps correct positional tracking drift, and can be helpful for positioning different cameras relative to one other in space.
default: true

Warning
: This mode requires more resources to run, but greatly improves tracking accuracy. We recommend leaving it on by default.

◆ enable_pose_smoothing

bool enable_pose_smoothing

This mode enables smooth pose correction for small drift correction.
default: false

◆ set_floor_as_origin

bool set_floor_as_origin

This mode initializes the tracking to be aligned with the floor plane to better position the camera in space.
default: false

Note
: This launches floor plane detection in the background until a suitable floor plane is found. The tracking is in TRACKING_STATE_SEARCHING state.
Warning
: This features work best with the ZED-M since it needs an IMU to classify the floor. The ZED needs to look at the floor during initialization for optimum results.

◆ area_file_path

String area_file_path

Area localization file that describes the surroundings, saved from a previous tracking session.
default: (empty)

Note
Loading an area file will start a search phase, during which the camera will try to position itself in the previously learned area.
Warning
: The area file describes a specific location. If you are using an area file describing a different location, the tracking function will continuously search for a position and may not find a correct one.
The '.area' file can only be used with the same depth mode (MODE) as the one used during area recording.

◆ enable_imu_fusion

bool enable_imu_fusion

This setting allows you to enable or disable IMU fusion. When set to false, only the optical odometry will be used.
default: true

Note
This setting has no impact on the tracking of a ZED camera; only the ZED Mini uses a built-in IMU.

◆ set_as_static

bool set_as_static

This setting allows you define the camera as static. If true, it will not move in the environment. This allows you to set its position using initial_world_transform.
All SDK functionalities requiring positional tracking will be enabled.
Camera::getPosition() will return the value set as initial_world_transform for the PATH, and identity as the POSE.
