Motion capture (MoCap) systems are indispensable tools in various fields, such as animation, biomechanics, and virtual reality. A critical aspect of MoCap systems is the hardware design and control of multiple cameras to accurately capture and track motion in dynamic environments.
This master's thesis project aims to develop a robust mechatronic design for a dynamic multi-camera system tailored for motion capture applications.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this thesis project are as follows:
1. To design and fabricate a mechatronic system comprising multiple cameras capable of dynamic calibration and synchronization.
2. To develop control algorithms for the coordinated movement and positioning of cameras in real time to optimize motion capture quality.
3. To evaluate the performance of the mechatronic system through experimentation, assessing factors such as accuracy, synchronization, and adaptability.
Expected Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this project, the expected outcomes include:
1. A functional mechatronic system comprising multiple synchronized cameras for dynamic motion capture.
2. Developed control algorithms enabling real-time coordination and movement of cameras for optimal motion capture performance.
3. Experimental validation demonstrating the accuracy, synchronization, and adaptability of the mechatronic system for motion capture applications.
This project aims to contribute to the advancement of motion capture technology by focusing on the crucial aspects of hardware design and control in the development of dynamic multi-camera systems.
