Greetings fellow researchers:
We our utilizing the Vicon 370 3D motion analysis system to acquire kinematic
data and have recently encountered a problem known as a "black hole".
While each camera (our system has six) can see a given marker, this marker is
"lost" in the reconstruction process. I don't know the details,
but apparently it has to do with the cancellation of intersecting rays in the
reconstruction algorithm. I was wondering if anyone had encountered a similar
problem and perhaps could offer some insight.
Thank you,
