Motion analysis and / or tracking system of moving or moving, thermally contrasting objects from their surroundings

The present invention relates to a motion analysis and / or tracking system (1) of moving or moving, thermally contrasting objects from their surroundings (90), which extends through a group of cameras (11, 12, ...; 21, 22, ...) (with at least one thermal imaging camera (11), a calibration unit (51), a synchronization unit (52), a segmentation unit (61), a Rekonstruierungseinheit (62), a projecting unit (63) and an identification unit 64) distinguished. With such a system (1) is advantageously allows a thermally-assisted segmentation and indeed to be analyzed independently of the environmental conditions of a and / or tracking the object (90) and without it in the object (90) needs to be attached marker elements.
