import metadata

I want to know how to retrieve metadata, but I can’t find any relevant information anywhere. Could you please explain the procedure for retrieving metadata?

The process of actually recording position and rotation values is going to depend on your camera, so you'll have to refer to your camera's operating manual to see how to do that. Not all cameras are able to record this type of data. If you can record it, you will need to update your metatags.xml file to tell PFTrack how to read and interpret data from your camera, and that's described in more detail in the documentation. PFTrack supports RED and ARRI metadata natively, but for other cameras you'll need to find information from your camera manufacturer that describes the type of coordinate frame it's using, and update the metatags.xml file to ensure the roll pitch and yaw values for your camera rotation are interpreted properly when reading the data from your media files.
