        Reflective markers are solid spheres without any internal electronic components, thus requiring no power supply or connection wires. Their surfaces are coated with a reflective material designed to reflect light generated by optical cameras. During use, the camera's threshold settings are adjusted to selectively sample only the reflective markers, effectively ignoring surrounding objects.

        3.III Application Scenarios

        1Infrared optical motion capture systems often serve as reliable indoor positioning methods, providing high-precision, low-latency 3D spatial location information for various intelligent agents such as drones, vehicles, mobile robots, and robotic arms. They also validate the accuracy of ground truth for machine learning.
