How does the Vicon system work?

How does the Vicon system work?

This technique uses retroreflective markers that are tracked by infrared cameras. This technique does not require cameras except as a localization tool. Inertial sensors (sometimes known as IMUs) are worn by the subject and the data from the sensors is transmitted wirelessly to a computer or smart device.

What is Vicon motion capture?

Vicon Motion Capture System (54 Vicon V-16 Vantage) To capture multiple people interacting, sports activities, or human interactions with 3D scenes, we exploit marker-based motion capture (mocap). This technology captures human movement at high frame rate and our capture volume allows us flexible movements.

What is motion capture software?

Motion capture uses cameras to track the subtle movements of a subject wearing mocap markers. The data is then transferred to a computer equipped with the mocap software. The software processes the data and creates a virtual skeleton that moves with the subject in real-time.

Why do we calibrate Vicon?

The main purpose of the calibration stage is to create a relative 3D reference for each camera so that each camera has a its own reference in 3D space relative to the other cameras; in addition we reference the relative distances of the camera with the world origin as it is in the actual room.
