4.14 Tracking, Virtual Studio and AR Functions

The TVS-3000 integrates a built-in docking function with the HTC Tracker tracking system. When users install the HTC Tracker on the camera, the TVS-3000 can obtain the movement of the camera within the 3D space for bundling with the virtual camera lens for realizing the tracking effect of the virtual studio. When the HTC Tracker is bundled with the AR object, it can realize the real-time control of the interaction effect between AR objects and the host.

4.14.1 Installation of the HTC Tracker and the Camera

a. Installation of the HTC Base Station: The HTC Tracker must be used with the Base Station for realizing the update and tracking of the position of the HTC Tracker itself. What HTC Tracker needs to do is to connect to power source and it is no need for the HTC Tracker to connect to the main unit of the TVS-3000. The communication between the Base Station and the Tracker is by infrared. So, please make sure that there is no covering between the Base Station and the Tracker. At the same time, the effective range of the HTC base station on the Tracker is a cone-shaped area with a frontal angle of 120^ and a side length of 5m. The Tracker must move within this range. In order to increase the effective moving space of the Tracker users can use more Base Stations for forming a coverage. Users can use up to 4 Base Stations for assisting the positioning of the Tracker at the same time.

b. The Connection between the HTC Tracker and Your PC: In order to track the movement of the camera, to measure the height of the ground and to bind with the AR object, it is necessary to use at least 2 HTC Tracker for realizing the function of the Tracking/AR Virtual Studio. One of the HTC Tracker is used for binding the camera and the other HTC Tracker is used to be the ground plane reference and the AR object. The HTC Tracker can connect to PC through cable or wireless connection.

When the HTC Tracker is connected by cable, if the battery of the Tracker is charged to the power required for operation, the indicator of the Tracker will change to white, please press and hold the blue button which is located at the center of the Tracker for about 3 seconds and then wait until the indicator is shown in green, the HTC Tracker is connected to the Base Station successfully.

When the wireless connection is used for the first time, users need to pair the Tracker with the corresponding USB dongle in the packing box. For connecting the USB data cable and the wireless receiver, please press the blue button which is located at the center of the Tracker for about 3 seconds for turning on the Tracker. After that, please long-press the Logo button for about 3 seconds. The status light will be shown in blinking blue during the pairing progress of the HTC Tracker. After the HTC Tracker is paired successfully, the status light will be shown in solid green. After the pairing is finished, The Tracker can operate normally within the TVS-3000 software.

If the connection is successful, the reminder for the Tracker quantity will be shown within the small triangle which is located at the top-center of the interface. No matter the Trackers are connected in cable or in wireless, if the number which is shown is less than the Tracker which are used, please confirm that whether those Trackers are within the coverage of the Base Station. If the answer is Yes please move those Trackers to make sure that each Tracker can be recognized by the software.

c. How to install the HTC Tracker to the Tracking Camera: Due to the fact that the HTC Tracker is used to locate the camera movement, it is necessary for the HTC Tracker to has fixed mutual position/direction relationships with the camera, it is necessary for users to follow following two rules for installing the HTC Tracker and the camera which is needed for tracking.

- Please make sure that the bottom surface of the HTC Tracker must be paralleled to the horizontal plane of the camera.

● Please make sure that the USB port of the HTC Tracker must be faced to the direction which is the same as the rear of the camera (which is shown as following diagram)

Close-up of a black H1NIGHT vehicle with a circular sensor on top, displayed indoors (no visible text or symbols)

4.14.2 Data Test of the Camera Lens

In order to make sure that the real camera lens situation with the HTC Tracker is consistent to the situation of the virtual camera lens, it is needed to calibrate the currently used camera, its corresponding camera lens and camera parameters. For the camera lens and camera combination which is not used for shooting, it is needed for it to pass some sets of the data test for generating new parameters for loading into the software.

a. Measure the Relative Position of the Tracker and the Camera: The center of the bottom surface of the Tracker is the location point of the Tracker. The center of the front lens of the camera lens is the location point of the camera. It is needed for users to measure the offset distance between the two points in the left and right, up and down and front and rear directions. Those three offset distances must be recorded as X, Y and Z respectively. Please see following paragraph for the positive and negative rules of the values.

When a person stands behind the camera and faces to the same direction as the camera lens. At this time, if the HTC Tracker is located at the left side of the camera lens, the X will be a negative value. If the HTC Tracker is located at the right side of the camera lens, the X will be a positive value. If the HTC Tracker is located under the camera, the Y will be a negative value. If the HTC Tracker is located on the camera lens, the Y will be a positive value. If the Tracker is located in front of the center point of the camera lens, the Z will be a positive value. If the Tracker is located behind the center point of the camera lens, the Z will be a negative value.

b. Measure the Distortions of the Camera Lens and the Camera: To measure lens distortion, a standard checkerboard calibration board with a size of 25mm X 25mm is required. Or users can paste the 25mm checkerboard pictures on a hard plate. After that, please change angle and distance in front of the camera and then capture at least 20 or more pictures. Before capturing pictures, please make sure that the camera lens is set to minimum focal length.

Please guide those pictures into the Camera Calibration Tool of the Matlab software.

After the calculation is finished, please click the tick button to export the outcome of the calculation and then please go back to the main interface of the Matlab to copy the outcome of the calculation to a .txt file for saving it.

c. Use the calibration tool to generate the combined parameter file of the camera and camera lens combination: Please open the "LensSpline.exe" tool from the software file folder. After that, please click the "Load Calibration Files" button which is located on the bottom left side to load the .txt file which is saved in the previous step.

After that, please enter the minimum and maximum focal lengths in the “Lens Mount(mm)” blanks which are located at the left side. And then please enter the measured X, Y and Z values which are measured from the step a. into the X,Y and Z blanks which are located at the right side.

After those values are filled, please click the "Save as" button which is located at the top-right side of the window and then please save the parameter file into the "Calibration" file folder which is located in the file folder of currently used software version.

4.14.3 TVS-3000 HTC Tracker Test and Adjustment Reminders

After the TVS-3000 9231 version upgrading, the installation and the operation of the ground calibration for the HTC Tracker are greatly optimized. The positive and negative numbers rule for the parameter setting tool Lenspline is also updated. Please see following paragraphs for the explanations for the issues which are encountered by users when measuring the HTC Tracker and ground calibration.

Installing the HTC Tracker on the Camera

For the ground confirming algorithm after TVS-3000 new version upgrading, it is no need for users to place the USB interface of the HTC Tracker on the same direction as the rear side of the camera. This improvement avoids the difficulty in installation and use caused by the difficulty in determining the direction of the usb interface when the fixing fixture is tightened. Users can tighten it as much as possible. However, since the camera attitude must be confirmed by the attitude of the HTC Tracker, it is a must that the bottom surface of the HTC Tracker on the camera must be paralleled to the horizontal plane of the camera. When installing the HTC Tracker, please make sure that there is no pitch and skew for the left, right, front and rear directions of the HTC Tracker when comparing to the camera for assuring the tracking accuracy.

The Measuring and Entering of the X and Y Values

Generally speaking, the position which the HTC Tracker is installed is mainly on the left and right axis of the camera. So, in the new version of the Lenspline tool, it deletes the distance data of the X-axis offset. What users need to do is to measure the up and down distance (Y value) and the front and rear distance (Z value). The positive and negative determining rule for the entered number is that if the HTC Tracker is on the camera, the Y value will be a negative number. If the HTC Tracker is among the camera lens and the rear side of the camera, the Z value will be a positive number. Generally speaking, users will install the HTC Tracker according to the above-mentioned way. So, basically, the Y value will be a negative number and the Z value will be a positive number. Please pay attention that the number here is written in the unit of mm. For measuring, please pay attention that the camera lens must be rotated to its widest angle focal length when measuring the front and rear distances between the HTC Tracker and the camera lens. Please measure the tracker installation fixed point, which is the tracker center axis, to the left and right position of the first lens closest to the front end of the lens.

Important Reminder for Measuring Checkerboard

The checkerboard measurement is to measure actual picture distortion when the camera is combined with the camera lens for synchronizing the edge distortion when the camera lens is operated at the widest angle focal length. So, it is important for the measuring accuracy for this step. If a finished calibration board is used, please make sure that the calibration board model No. is GP340-12*9. If the calibration board is printed by the A4 paper, please make sure that the calibration board is printed according to original size. On the printed result, the size of each grid is exactly 25mm. Moreover, please pay attention that the printed calibration board must be laid on a flat surface that will not deform. (foam board, acrylic board, etc.),

Please do not have undulation or crumple on the paper. When measuring screenshots, try to choose as many as possible the state where the oblique direction of the calibration board is more obvious. Moreover, please pay attention for taking screenshots of the calibration board close to the four sides of the screen.

Wake-up of the HTC Tracker and the Confirmation of the Operating Status

When the HTC Tracker is operated in wireless status, generally, the LED indicator will be shown in blue. After entering the operating status, the LED indicator will be shown in green. If the color of the LED indicator is wrong, users can long-press the blue button which is located at the center for turning off the HTC Tracker. After the LED indicator is turned off, please press the blue button for turning on the HTC Tracker and then please shake the HTC Tracker a little bit within the coverage of the Base Station until the LED indicator is changed to green for normal operation. When the HTC Tracker is connected by cable, the default priority is to search the PC which is connected to the HTC Tracker. So, if you just want to charge the HTC Tracker, please do not connect the USB cable to your PC. What you can do is to connect a charge-only USB cable after the HTC Tracker is operated in wireless mode and the LED indicator is shown in green. The only difference is that the other side of the USB cable is not connected to your PC. The LED indicator should be kept in green and can operate normally.

When the HTC Tracker is operated by connecting to a cable, if users connect a USB cable to the HTC Tracker when it is turned off and the LED indicator is not shown in any color, the LED indicator will be shown in orange(means the HTC Tracker is in charging) or shown in white (mans the HTC Tracker is fully charged). If users press the blue button at this time, the LED indicator will be shown in blue. If the TVS-3000 software is launched at this time, please shake the HTC Tracker a little bit at this time and then the LED indicator will change to green.

The Confirmation for the Direction of the Virtual Scene

When the virtual scene is loaded for the first time and the HTC Tracker is connected for positioning, the direction of the virtual scene is synchronized with the direction of the real environment. Subject to the base station. The direction of the base station numbered b is the direction that the front view looks when the scene is built in 3Dmax. The ground plane point of the Base Station numbered B is the original point for the X coordinate and Z coordinate when the virtual scene is built in 3Dmax. So, if the Base Station is placed on the left side of the

camera when it is installed, the initial virtual camera lens position will face to the right side of the virtual scene. In order to confirm the size and the situation of the virtual scene, users can turn the direction of the camera to the position which the number B Base Station is located. And then users can see the default front view camera position of the virtual scene in normal non-tracking situation from the virtual scene channel screen of the TVS-3000.

The Adjustment for the Direction and Size of the Virtual Scene

In order to adjust the virtual scene to face forward, users can press the rotation button which is located on the bottom-right corner of the offset adjustment board when adjusting current tracking virtual scene. Please pull the rotation button to adjust the orientation and please press and hold and then pull the cross-shaped button which is located at the center of the offset adjustment board to each direction for adjusting the virtual camera position in the virtual scene. Please pay attention that the front side, rear side, left side, right side and direction must be adjusted according to the virtual scene space. So, when you pull the cross-shaped button to the front, rear, left and right sides, please do not determine the direction according to the front, rear, left and right sides of the virtual scene channel on the screen. Users should adjust the direction based on the virtual orthogonal view on the left side of the Offset Adjustment Board.

4.14.4 Camera Tracking and Binding

a. Preliminary Step: After opening the TVS-3000 software, the system will test the quantity of available Tracker and then the quantity will be shown at the center of the triangle icon which is located on the top-left side of the GUI. Please make sure that whether there is a difference between the quantity of needed Tracker and the detected Tracker. If there is a difference, please check according to the settings in the 4.14.1 section. In order to ensure the precision of the tracking, please confirm that the anti-shake function of the camera is turned off. After that, please load the camera signal into the switching channel for further chromakeying. Please load the needed virtual scenes by using the GFX or BUFFER switching channel. It is no need for users to bind the camera signal to the A, B, C, D objects which are located in the virtual scene. b. Virtul Scene Binding: Please select the loaded virtual scene and then please click the cross-shaped icon on the top-left corner of the virtual camera lens area. After that, the top-left corner of the Offset Adjustment Board will show “VR”. Please click “VR” to open the menu for selecting the Tracker which is mounted on the camera for binding.

Note: When the new device is selected for the first time, it is possible that the corresponding Tracker No. may not be confirmed. Users can select a Tracker randomly for binding. After the binding is finished, users can shake the camera after binding to see whether the virtual camera lens can follow or not. If the answer is No, try to bind another Tracker for confirming whether the correct Tracker is selected or not. Users can write down the corresponding No. for the convenience of future application.

After the Tracker is binding successfully, the VR button will be shown as a yellow triangle. Please click the yellow triangle to open the menu for entering into the camera synchronization option to select the loaded camera signal.

Click the yellow triangle again for opening the menu. In the camera calibration menu, please select the pre-tested and saved camera parameters (c section in 4.14.2) or you can select the existing corresponding parameters for the camera or camera lens which is used in real application.

C. Ground Positioning: After the above-mentioned adjustment, the binding between the virtual camera lens of the virtual studio and the HTC Tracker which is located on the real camera is done. Users can move or rotate the real camera for moving or rotaing the virtual camera lens. In order to adjust the height of the virtual camera to be the same as the real camera, users can place the other HTC Tracker on the ground. After that, please press the yellow triangle button and then press the reset button on the right side of the Tracker from

"Positioning to Ground Plane" from the menu. Please operate according to the reminder of the system to adjust the cursor of the camera to be aligned to the HTC Tracker Logo which is placed on the ground. After that, please click "confirm" and then the ground height of the virtual scene will be synchronized to the ground height of the real scene.

Tip 1: If there is no change for the height of the real ground plane, users can click the “Apply tracker attitude” for one time. However, please pay attention that during the process of tracker attitude synchronization, please make sure that there is no shield between the Tracker and the Base Station and the Tracker can be recognized correctly.

Tip2: The Tracker which is placed on the ground can be placed in any direction. However, please make sure that the bottom of the Tracker is close to the ground.

d: Synchronization Adjustment: Due to the fact that some cameras may need longer time for processing signals for pictures, it will cause the unsynchronization issue between the screen which is shot by the real camera and the movement of the virtual camera lens in the TVS-3000 software. Users can try to adjust the “Frame Reference” parameter and then turn the real camera direction to the left side and the right side to observe the situation of the virtual camera movement and the situation of the real camera until the movement of the virtual camera lens is synchronized to the screen which is shot by the real camera. If the movement of the virtual camera lens is faster and the movement of the real camera lens is slower, user can select the positive number, if the virtual camera lens is slower and the real camera lens is faster, users can select positive number for synchronization.

4.14.5 Position Adjustment

a. The confirmation rule for the relative position of the tracking camera lens: In order to obtain the basic relative coordinates, after the TVS-3000 binds the virtual camera to the Tracker, it will synchronize the virtual scene space with the real space where the base station and the Tracker are located according to the basic spatial location rules. Moreover, this relative position will determine the direction of the virtual camera lens which is bound by the Tracker and the distance which is relative to the virtual scene. When making the virtual scene, the center of the coordinate axis(0 point of the X axis and Z axis) where the virtual scene is located will be determined by the position of the Base Station on the ground plane. The direction of the Base Station determines the direction of the virtual scene. From the angle of the Base Station, the front side of the Base Station is the front side of the virtual scene(please refer to following diagram). Users can refer the following diagram to determine the position of the camera and the Base Station. After the virtual camera lens is binding to the Tracker, users can see from the default view angle which the virtual camera is faced to the subject of the virtual scene. Otherwise, users need to adjust the orientation of the virtual scene manually. The unit size which is selected when using the virtual studio will correspond to the size of the real space.

b. Adjust and Modify the Tracking Position: If there is a difference between the virtual scene size/direction of the camera and users' real need, users can use the moving, rotating and scaling tools in this area for adjusting the scale between the real subject which is shot by the camera and the virtual scene. Users can switch it to the PVW/PGM windows for monitoring and can also use the floor plan which is located on the virtual camera lens area for further confirmation.

4.14.6 Binding of the AR Object

We can use the Tracker which is used for positioning the ground plane to bind a virtual object for realizing the real-time control of the effect for the AR 3D object interaction.

a. Loading the virtual object: please select and open the switching channel which is used for tracking the virtual scene. Please load the AR object from the by TVS-3000's DSK Overlay Layer Window. Please click the "plus" icon which is located on the top-left corner of the layer window and then please click "Open File" for loading the needed AR object.

b. Binding the AR virtual object with the Tracker: After the AR object is loaded, please click the object name which is located below the corresponding DSK overlay window for showing the object. After that, please click the cross-shaped icon which is located at the title column. And then the controlled object of the “Offset Adjustment Board” area will change to the AR object of current DSK overlay layer.

Please click the “3D” icon which is located at the top-left corner of the “Offset Adjustment Board”, and then please select the Tracker which is bound. The operation is the same as the procedures for binding the virtual camera. The disorder parameters and Frame synchronization for binding the virtual camera will be applied automatically and it is no need for users to do more selection. After the virtual object is bound, if the Tracker which is bound with the AR object is shown within the shooting range of the real camera, the TVS-3000 system will show the AR object in the virtual scene according to its position in the real space. However, please pay attention that the AR object can be shown in front of the host only and the front-rear relative relationship of the host and the AR object can not be changed through changing the position of the Tracker.
