Vicon Motion Systems Optical & High-Speed Video Motion Measurement System
This state-of-the-art 3D motion capture system includes:
- Optical Capture Cameras. 5 MX infra-red optical cameras that can differentiate partially colliding markers in real time as well as offline.
- High-speed System Compatibility. High-speed video camera systems that operate at speeds up to 2000 frames per second.
- Pattern Tracking. Tracking unique user specified patterns frame-by frame without markers or manual intervention
- Virtual Point and Unit Vector Calculations. A point-and-click interface to specify calculations for complete six degree-of-freedom kinematics.
- Two-dimensional and Three-dimensional Solid Model Display. Integrated conic sections and spheroids that permit the user to construct a realistic solid model display of any animal or human subject.
- Kinetic energy measurements. Integrated programming capacity for calculating the kinetic energy of moving bodies and body parts.
