For this thesis a 3D visualizing tool to reconstruct human movements for
motion analysis has been developed. The required moving data is extracted
from video material by an optical motion capture software. The tool simulates
this motion data on a three dimensional skeleton. The biomechanical
parameters that exactly describe human movements are discussed, which
leads to the forces caused during motion and affect the human body. These
forces can be measured by a force plate during the motion capture process
and are also visualized in the simulation through vectors. |
|
With the help of the 3D visualizing tool it can be shown that a realtime
3D animation of any movement enhances the validity of motion analysis.
Reasons are a more natural representation of human motion by a virtual
skeleton and also the possibility to show the coherence between the forces
and the movement itself. Within a 3D scene several movements can be
compared and thus differences can be easily located. |
