Iam operating 3D gait analysis with Qualisys. With few trouble shooting regarding marker identification, Iam using QTM software and V3D for processing.
After markers identification, the markers displaced & jump to other side or to other segments and that happened just when we capture children.... Am not sure if that software programs or due to camera positions ??
I think it happens because at least 3 cameras cannot identify correctly each marker, due to artifacts present in the lab (for example to much light). The solution is to re-identify the marker in the right frame and/or eliminate the gap-filled trajectories and calculate them again.
Thanks Marco, in vicon its enough 2 cameras to identify each marker...i dnt know why with Qualysis need 3 cameras to identify each..?? i will send you diagram of the lab to get your opinion regarding its setting..
In my opinion, I shifted two cameras to the side of the laboratory and placed at least two other lower in order to ensure the capture of foot markers. That is, the cameras were arranged in a circle and at different heighs.
But this provision depends largely on the type of task.
If your problem happens mostly with children, it could be because they are lower in heigh, and you may try to lower some cameras.
we tried before to have 3 cameras a side but the problem that width of the lab is 4,5 meters and benefits from cameras on the sides very limited to the summation of field that match ground reaction force..
i will try to lower 2 of them...
do you have any articles or text about ideal setting of lab cameras? to be guidelines instead of trial and errors..?
