Kinematic Data Extraction from Technical Videography
First Claim
1. A method of extracting kinematic data, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a camera so that a test component is in a video frame;
recording the test component using the camera while the test component is operating to generate video data;
measuring kinematic values of a reference component;
defining a search region in the video data encompassing an area of the test component;
analyzing the measured kinematic values of the reference component;
calculating, based on the analyzed kinematic values of the reference component, kinematic values of the test component; and
generating an output file containing the calculated kinematic values of the test component.
