TV / computer motion analysis systems: the first two decades

TV-based motion analysis systems are described, that perform real-time non-contacting coordinate data acquisition of contrasting markers, at­ tached as landmark points to unobstructed moving objects. The account ranges from our original prototype to the recent PRIMAS Precision Motion Analysis System. A review of literature discusses derived and alternative systems, developments are positioned within a historical framework. Performance criteria are formulated, PRIMAS test results are given and a comparison of this and commercial systems is provided. Acknowledgements: schematic drawings F. van 't Hof and H.K.
