The 3D Analysis Software


Leave the plane: 3D is much more than 2D
 

Main features:
The image analysis software Mov3D offers you the possibility to analyze 3D motion of dynamic recordings:
Using the 2D module MovXact you track objects in several stereoscopic views. Photogrammetric methods (“triangulation”) enable you to calculate 3D curves.
  • Easy management of multi views within one test file
  • Interface to 3D control points
  • New type of marker CODE (= coded ring marker, by AICON)
  • Calculation of camera position using known control points
  • Calibration of camera and lens with powerful distortion correction.
    (Use drag&drop from module CamFolder)
  • 3D calibration and output of x-y-z displacement/time diagrams
    (with a-v differentiation etc. see MovXact)

Data necessary for successful 3D analysis:
control point data
 
Tracking data: control points and unknown points
image sequence
(per view)
       
 
Calibration measurements

image sequence of test target +
camera - lens - data
(per camera)+
control point data in ASCII file

         
 
► Position measurements

3D control points with tracking data +
calibration measurement
(per view + per image)

 
► 3D measurements

tracking data of unknown points +
calibration measurements +
position measurements
( n * 2D → 3D)

   

Requirements for 3D measurements>
  • At least two views from different points are included in the analysis session.
  • (Same) control points and marker targets with the same name are setup and measured in the single views.
  • All cameras run synchronously (as possible within 1 line)
  • The frequencies of the image sequences need to be equal or
    integer parts of the maximum occurring frequency = max. frequency / n.
  • The T0 start times should be in the raster of the maximum image frequency:
    T0(n) - T0-min. = 1 / max. frequency.
  • The camera positions are calculated within the overlapping time interval; for this measurement data of at least 4 control points per image are necessary. Alternatively the positions may be defined as „static“.
  • A triangulation on the basis of the measured image coordinates must be possible.
  • Own scales or rulers are not necessary for calibration.
    The scaling is implicitly included in the control point information.

Technical Framework:
  • Program system for computer platforms under WINDOWS 2000 / XP / 2003
  • User interface compliant to MS-Windows.
  • Technical specifications are subject to change.
