Interface Abstraction for Motion Capture System APIs such as VICON, OptiTrack, Qualisys, Nokov, FZMotion, or VRPN.

This can be used as C++ library or Python package. For Python, use

pip install motioncapture

For C++, follow the instructions below.

This is a fork of https://github.com/USC-ACTLab/libmotioncapture/ with the following changes:

• Python bindings
• Factory method
• Refactored API
• Support for VRPN by default

By default, libmotioncapture supports the following hardware:

• VICON - SDK git submodule
• Qualisys - SDK git submodule
• OptiTrack - binary parsing over network (no dependency)
• VRPN - SDK git submodule
• NOKOV - manually obtain SDK and copy to deps/nokov_sdk/
• FZMotion - no dependency
• Motion Analysis - manually obtain SDK and copy to deps/cortex_sdk_linux/

CMake flags can be used to disable individual systems in CMakeLists.txt.

sudo apt install libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libeigen3-dev ninja-build

git submodule init
git submodule update
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

An example application is in examples/main.cpp. Run it using

./motioncapture_example <mocap type> <ip address>

git submodule init
git submodule update
python3 setup.py develop --user
python3 examples/python.py
