Seamless integration of Optitrack motion capture with ROS 2

Abstract

This work proposes a new tool to smoothly integrate the latest versions of Motive software for the OptiTrack motion capture system to ROS 1 and ROS 2. The current development uses the NatNet SDK 4.0 interface to transmit and convert the data from Motive software to the ROS topics over the shared network. The package promises user-friendliness and greater functionalities than currently available open-source packages within a single package, such as tracking of individual passive markers, Skeleton data, markers as a point-cloud, etc. Individual passive marker tracking increases the range of detection and confidence in the position, along with the cost reduction of the entire system.
