For commercial purposes the camera tracking software VooCAT is now available for Windows, MAC OS X, and Linux. It is based on Voodoo technology, but provides easier handling, improved tracking quality, and increased tracking speed. A demo version is available for testing the tracking performance. More details can be found at http://www.scenespector.com.

Latest changes

  • Fixed two major memory leaks in the KLT tracker and FreeMove solver
  • Due to several requests, we provide preliminary support for Blender 2.5.x (We tested the export for Blender 2.5.3 beta. However, Blender's python API is currently subject to changes, which eventually could cause incompatibility for version higher than 2.5.3 beta)

Installation for Linux

Unpack the archive:

> cd install-dir
> tar -zxvf voodoo-x86Linux-1.1.0.tar.gz
Start the voodoo camera tracker with

> cd ./voodoo-x86Linux-1.1.0
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/bin/
> bin/voodoo

The package contains two sample image sequence. The first sequence is taken with a camera on a tripod and demonstrates tracking with the rotation motion model. You can load the first sequence with the following command line options

> bin/voodoo -F 0 -L19 -S1 -d1 sample_image_sequence/tripod_rotation/uni.%02d.tga

The second sequence demonstrates tracking with the free move motion model. You can load the second sequence with the following command line options

> bin/voodoo -F190 -L210 -S1 -d2 --est-method=FREEMOVE sample_image_sequence/free_move/dredger%03d.tga

You should be able to execute the binary on any standard x86-based Linux system. We build it on Debian 4.1.1 (etch) and tested it also on Ubuntu 9.04. The application requires OpenGL or Mesa.
