Summary[edit]
NOTE
OS: This operator is only supported under the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The ZED CHOP reads positional and plane tracking from the ZED camera. It can additionally use a UV to find plane in the room, and return information about that plane such as it's size/orientation either relative to the camera, or the room itself.
NOTE: This CHOP works with the Stereolabs ZED hardware. For more information and to know what ZED SDK to install refer to the ZED article.
Parameters - ZED Page
Active
active

-
Camera Position
resetcameraposition

Plane Orientation
planeorientation
- Enables plane at point, which returns the position of the plane corresponding the UV coordinate.
Get Plane
getplane
- Returns the camera position relative to the initial position of the camera. A tx
, ty
, tz
triplet of channels will be output for the position of the camera in meters. An rx
, ry
, rz
triplet will be output for the orientation.
U
u
- Sets the U coordinate of the point in the image to extract plane position.
Pulse
getplanepulse
-
V
v
- Sets the V coordinate of the point in the image to extract plane position.
Plane Reference Frame
planereferenceframe
- ⊞ - Controls if the panel coordinates will be given relative to the camera or the world.
- World

Normal
planenormal
- Returns nx
, ny
, and nz
normal channels of the plane.
Plane Point U
planepointu
- Sets the U coordinate of the point in the image to extract plane position.
Position
planeposition
- Returns tx
, ty
, and tz
position channels of the center of the plane.
Rotation
planerotation
- Returns rx
, ry
, and rz
rotation channels for the plane.
Plane Point V
planepointv
- Sets the V coordinate of the point in the image to extract plane position.
Size
planesize
- Returns size of the bounding rectangle of the plane.
Plane Position
planeposition
- Returns tx
, ty
, and tz
position channels of the center of the plane.
Plane Rotation
planerotation
- Returns rx
, ry
, and rz
rotation channels for the plane.
Plane Normal
planenormal
- Returns nx
, ny
, and nz
normal channels of the plane.
Plane Size
planesize
- Returns size of the bounding rectangle of the plane.
Body Tracking
bodytracking
- ⊞ - Body tracking allows for tracking human skeletons that are found in the video frame. Each mode uses an AI model that will need to be trained one for your GPU. This will take several minutes, but only needs to be done once per model per machine, as long as the GPU isn't changed. For models where the 'Joint Mode' parameter is disabled, the outputs will be 'Absolute'.
- Off
off
- Body Tracking is disabled.
- Skeleton - 18 Joints
skeleton18
- Tracks an 18 joint skeleton as described in this article.
- Skeleton - 34 Joints
skeleton34
- Tracks an 34 joint skeleton as described in this article. The positions and rotations are relative to the parent joints, as described in that article, where the 0 joint is the 'root' joint.
Max Bodies
maxbodies
- The maximum number of bodies that will be tracked.
Body 3D
body3d
- Enable to output 3D positions. Rotations will be included if the Joint Mode is set to 'Relative'.
Joint Mode
jointmode
- ⊞ - Controls if the joint values are given in absolute in scene or relative to each other.
- Absolute Position
absolute
- Absolute XYZ positions of each in space, given in meters.
- Relative, with Orientation
relative
- 3D skeleton positions and rotations in heriachical terms, each relative to a parent joint.
Body 2D
body2d
- 2D normalized UV coordinates for each joint, giving their position within the image.
Aspect Correct UVs
aspectcorrectuv
- Apply a correct to the UVs so they as aspect correct.
Reference Frame
referenceframe
- ⊞ - Selects the reference frame for plane position.
- World
world
- Plane position outputs are relative to the initial position of the camera.
- Camera
camera
- Plane position is relative to the initial position of the camera.
Parameters - Common Page
Time Slice
timeslice
- Turning this on forces the channels to be "Time Sliced". A Time Slice is the time between the last cook frame and the current cook frame.
Scope
scope
- To determine which channels get affected, some CHOPs use a Scope string on the Common page.
Sample Rate Match
srselect
- ⊞ - Handle cases where multiple input CHOPs' sample rates are different. When Resampling occurs, the curves are interpolated according to the Interpolation Method Option, or "Linear" if the Interpolate Options are not available.
- Resample At First Input's Rate
first
- Use rate of first input to resample others.
- Resample At Maximum Rate
max
- Resample to the highest sample rate.
- Resample At Minimum Rate
min
- Resample to the lowest sample rate.
- Error If Rates Differ
err
- Doesn't accept conflicting sample rates.
Export Method
exportmethod
- ⊞ - This will determine how to connect the CHOP channel to the parameter. Refer to the Export article for more information.
- DAT Table by Index
datindex
- Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the index of the channel in the CHOP.
- DAT Table by Name
datname
- Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the name of the channel in the CHOP.
- Channel Name is Path:Parameter
autoname
- The channel is the full destination of where to export to, such hasgeo1/transform1:tx
.
Export Root
autoexportroot
- This path points to the root node where all of the paths that exporting by Channel Name is Path:Parameter are relative to.
Export Table
exporttable
- The DAT used to hold the export information when using the DAT Table Export Methods (See above).
Info CHOP Channels
Extra Information for the ZED CHOP can be accessed via an Info CHOP.
Common CHOP Info Channels
- start - Start of the CHOP interval in samples.
- length - Number of samples in the CHOP.
- sample_rate - The samplerate of the channels in frames per second.
- num_channels - Number of channels in the CHOP.
- time_slice - 1 if CHOP is Time Slice enabled, 0 otherwise.
- export_sernum - A count of how often the export connections have been updated.
Common Operator Info Channels
