1. A computer-implemented method of tracking a group of motion capture markers in a sequence of frames stored on a non-transitory tangible storage medium, the method comprising:

  • establishing a group relationship among a plurality of motion capture markers in a current frame;

    labeling said plurality of motion capture markers in said current frame as a group using said group relationship,wherein said plurality of motion capture markers in said current frame forms an inherent shape which is used in labeling markers in other frames, andwherein each motion capture marker in said plurality of motion capture markers is identified by its position in the inherent shape; and

    labeling a plurality of unlabeled motion capture markers in a next frame using said group relationship and based on a shape analysis of the group to substantially minimize incorrect marker labeling.
