11. A method for characterizing periodic motions using video data comprises:
-
acquiring a video file of a selected object; providing a data analysis system including a processor and memory operating a computer program to analyze the acquired video file by an adaptive array comparison procedure and calculate a parameter characteristic of the physical displacement of the object as a function of time and determine the periodicity thereof; time-stamping the video file and the determined periodicity associated therewith; and
,archiving the time stamped images and the associated physical displacement data in a data storage system for later retrieval. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
