  • # of Cameras

    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
