Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Motion capture systems using monochrome video struggle with accurate marker labelling.
  • Marker labelling is crucial for reconstructing 3D trajectories in motion analysis.
  • Current manual labelling is time-consuming and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated marker labelling method for motion capture.
  • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of 3D trajectory reconstruction.
  • To apply a neural network for sorting 3D marker positions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized neural networks trained on manually tracked video sequences.
  • Developed an algorithm to sort unsorted 3D marker positions using a minimum distance function.
  • The trained neural network can be applied to new individuals without retraining.

Main Results:

  • The trained neural network accurately calculates sorted approximate marker positions from unsorted exact positions.
  • The algorithm effectively pairs measured 3D marker positions with anatomical labels.
  • The system is particularly effective for cyclic motions, such as in locomotion analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Automated marker labelling using neural networks significantly enhances motion capture accuracy.
  • This method streamlines the 3D trajectory reconstruction process.
  • The algorithm offers a robust solution for analysing cyclic human movements.
