System Requirements (as of 06/2007)
Recommended workstation configuration to run the iotracker server software:
Processor(s):
Processor Option
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 (2x 2.66 Ghz) or
- Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800(2x 2.93 GHz)
Processor Option B:
- Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (4x 2.66 Ghz) or
- Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 (4x 2.93 GHz)
Processor Option C:
- 2x Intel Xeon DP X5355 (8x 2.66 GHz)
Main Memory: 1024 MB RAM plus an additional 256 MB RAM for each camera (examples: 2 GB for a 4-camera system, 3 GB for an 8-camera system).
Graphics Card: No specific requirements, but should be OpenGL 2.0-compliant (e.g. NVidia GeForce 7000 series).
Network Interface: 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet interface.
FireWire Controller: One (1) 1394a (FireWire-400) host controller for every two (2) iotracker cameras (available as PCI or PCI-Express expansion cards).
Operating System:
Supported operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (recommended)
- Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit Editions (preliminary support)
Hard Disk: Min. 1GB free disk space.
Processor selection guide:
| Number of cameras (*) | Number of targets (**) | Processor Option |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 1-4 | A |
| 4 | 5-8 | B |
| 4 (***) | more than 8 | C |
| 6 | 1-4 | A |
| 6 | 5-8 | B |
| 6 | 9-12 | C |
| 6 | more than 12 | not recommended (****) |
| 8 | 1-6 | B |
| 8 | 7-12 | C |
| 8 | more than 12 | not recommended (****) |
(*) Based on the assumption that all cameras cover the same volume.
(**) Estimated, actual number depends on various factors such as spatial proximity between rigid bodies, number of occlusions, and other factors.
(***) Occlusions might be problematic, consider using additional cameras.
(****) It is possible to track larger number (>12) of rigid bodies, but the resulting latency would (in at least some instances) exceed 40ms.
