What is Motion analysis: Definition and 23 Discussions

Motion analysis is used in computer vision, image processing, high-speed photography and machine vision that studies methods and applications in which two or more consecutive images from an image sequences, e.g., produced by a video camera or high-speed camera, are processed to produce information based on the apparent motion in the images. In some applications, the camera is fixed relative to the scene and objects are moving around in the scene, in some applications the scene is more or less fixed and the camera is moving, and in some cases both the camera and the scene are moving.
The motion analysis processing can in the simplest case be to detect motion, i.e., find the points in the image where something is moving. More complex types of processing can be to track a specific object in the image over time, to group points that belong to the same rigid object that is moving in the scene, or to determine the magnitude and direction of the motion of every point in the image. The information that is produced is often related to a specific image in the sequence, corresponding to a specific time-point, but then depends also on the neighboring images. This means that motion analysis can produce time-dependent information about motion.
Applications of motion analysis can be found in rather diverse areas, such as surveillance, medicine, film industry, automotive crash safety, ballistic firearm studies, biological science, flame propagation, and navigation of autonomous vehicles to name a few examples.

    Deriving a mathematical model for a stick falling over

    this is how far i have come with my model, i am trying to first the most simple model, meaning no friction involved and then testing that against an actual stick falling by using tracking software. I am currently stuck as my model still has an acceleration in the y direction that i cannot seem...

    Analysis of the Ground Function: f(x) with $$f''(\bar{x})=0$$

    If f(x) is the function of the "ground": My first assumption is that in a certain $$\bar{x}$$, $$f''(\bar{x})=0$$, and from that point I will analyse the situation. The object has initial energy $$E_0=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgf(x),$$ then $$v=\sqrt{\frac{2}{m}}\sqrt{E_0-mgf(x)}.$$ In each point the...

    B What is the concept of distance as an integral in Feynman lectures on physics?

    From Feynman lectures on physics: https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_08.html Page 8-7 (Ch 8 Motion) “ To be more precise, it is the sum of the velocity at a certain time, let us say the ith time, multiplied by deltat. ##s=\sum_{i} v({t_i})\Delta t##” Now I suppose ##{t_i}## is some time...

    I Why Is Moving Backwards on Skates Challenging for Humans?

    Can we apply Newton's laws of motion to the following use case mentioned below? Why is it difficult for Humans to move backwards with Skates? With practice & balance, is it possible to achieve this feat? Humans do can move backwards with their legs.

    Motion - How do you find the time in the air of an object

    Hi! I am really stuck on the concept, wouldn't we not have enough variables? I tried equation the equation for the y of the object to the slope of the hill, but I am missing several variables. Any help is greatly appreciated :) thanks!

    Finding the y-component of a velocity vector

    The first thing I did, was to find the equations for player A (p) and ball's (b) path (for each i and j component I used the equation I wrote in the relevant equations) and then I found the derivative of both equations so I could have the velocity: $$\vec{r}_p(t)=(6t^2+3t)\hat{i}+20\hat{j}...

    Motion analysis of an accelerating wedge and a block

    I don't understand the motion of an accelerating wedge and a block. I'd really appreciate if you make me understand the motion in both an inertial and a non inertial reference frame. Here's a figure I have made, a0 is the acceleration on the wedge with respect to an inertial frame, towards right.
