Make Fiducials Tool
The Make Fiducials tool can be used to generate fiducial patterns for those interested in creating custom constellations. The
InertiaCam is a visible light tracker, so the images produced by this tool can be printed on any white surface. The Fiducial Constellation
Guide provides instruction on how to create a constellation.
All fiducial IDs must be divisible by 10. This is because each eye is identified by the system as x0, x1, or x2. For instance, for fiducial
ID 990, the center eye would be known to the system as 990 and the two outer eyes would be 991 and 992. Traditionally fiducial IDs
are multiples of 100, so the default settings use a Fiducial Starting ID and Fiducial ID Increment of 100.
For use with the IS-1500, Invert Color and Center Mark must remain disabled when creating fiducials. For the IS-1500 to recognize
fiducials, the center eye should be white and should not contain a crosshair at the center, like the one in Figure 31.
