Biomechanics of Movement | Lecture 7.2: Measuring Movement with Marker-Based Motion Capture

Lecture by Professor Thomas Uchida of the University of Ottawa. Learn about how optical motion capture can be used to measure movement. From Eadweard Muybridge's early versions of optical motion capture to current marker-based motion capture methods, learn the math and physics behind this technique and how it helps biomechanists estimate a subject's position in space and relevant biomechanical information like joint angles.
