Hello Biomch-L Readers,
I am requesting your help on an issue of accuracy in 3D kinematic data
analysis. We are conducting a project using 60 and 200 hz video cameras
to capture images of an activity in a field width of 1.5 - 3 metres. We
have determined that we can see our joint/segment markers sufficiently
well with the 2 cameras but we are trying to decide whether we need more
than two cameras to achieve maximum accuracy. The research literature
does not appear to clearly indicate whether greater accuracy can be
achieved with 3 or 4 cameras as opposed to 2 cameras.
Is anyone out there aware of studies that can help us with this
question? Does anyone have first hand experience with the issue? Thanks
for any assistance you can give us. I will summarize the responses I
receive.
Sincerely - Pete Stothart
