Introduction

Starting from version 2.5, iPi Mocap Studio includes iPi Biomech Extension.

iPi Biomech Extension is a convenient tool for in-depth biomechanical analysis on tracking data. It includes visualization of tracking data and its export to various formats. It can be used for:

  • Gait analysis and rehabilitation
  • Sports motion analysis
  • Research in 3D human kinematics

Markerless tracking technology does not require clumsy suits, and work in real-life environments like regular office.

With iPi Biomech Extension you can:

  • Get various metrics for selected bones, including
    • Linear coordinate, velocity, acceleration
    • Euler angles, angular velocity and acceleration
  • Select convenient coordinate systems
    • Linear: Absolute (relative to floor), Relative to parent joint, Relative to center of mass
    • Angular: Absolute (relative to floor), Relative to parent joint
  • Plot values of selected metrics
  • Export bones motion data to file
  • Export point clouds obtained from depth sensors to file
