This study introduces a simple mathematical method for automatically retrieving hidden marker coordinates. The approach uses point distance variation smoothness, enabling 3D point recovery without rigid-body constraints.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanical analysis
  • Motion capture technology
  • Data science

Background:

  • Automated data retrieval using mathematical formulations is uncommon.
  • Missing marker or joint coordinate data presents challenges in motion analysis.
  • Existing methods often rely on rigid-body assumptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple mathematical formulation for retrieving hidden marker coordinates.
  • To develop an automated computer procedure for reconstructing missing 3D points.
  • To offer an alternative to rigid-body assumptions in motion analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Devised a strategy based on the smoothness of distance variation between points.
  • Developed an automated computer procedure for data retrieval.
