MARKERLESS MOTION CAPTURE… AN EARLY EXPERIENCE
Introduction In our last blog , we described our history with markerless motion tracking dating back to 2009 with early shape fitting methods. We discussed the benefits we saw with AI based tracking methods and, our view of the future of markerless tracking as described in this short video . In this blog we will share our early experience with three of the AI based markerless systems that have powered acceptance of this technology (SwRI, KinaTrax, and Theia 3D). We will place special emphasis on the data generated from each system together with that of a marker-based system. I think you will be just as surprised by what we experienced as we were. Objectives But first, it must be said, this is not an attempt to validate any of these systems nor to compare or evaluate one as better than another. The work we did in our early assessment does not have the necessary rigor to arrive at those conclusions. Rather our basic question was simply how accurate is this new techn
