Abstract
Generally, Human motion analysis has been performed under the condition that the camera position and the rotation are fixed. Furthermore, the human motion analysis is performed within the limited space. However, in order to analyze the most natural human motion, limitations for camera and space should be removed.
For this ideal condition, some problems should be resolved. These problems include camera parameters while tracking, real-time imaging, auto tracking moving object, 3D data acquisition, and synchronization of video image sequences and camera rotation parameters while tracking.
With this objective and for multiple applications such as 3D objects modeling and so on, Hybrid Video Theodolite (HVT) system was developed by the authors.
The applications of the HVT system for dynamic analysis of human gait motion are investigated in this paper.
