21 Point Automatic Digitisation
Module (2D) & Markers:
Designed for the elite coach,
sport scientist, podiatrist, physiotherapist and biomechanist.
This module is designed for the user to digitise their own
video images (2D). From this you can create point trajectories
of specific markers or even an 18-point anatomical model.
Distances, velocities and accelerations of both
linear and angular motion can be calculated and displayed
in the analysis window. An example of the types of markers used with Quintic Auto Tracking are shown below... |
Horizontal,
Vertical and Diagonal Calibration:
There are FOUR options to calibrate a video file using Quintic:
(i) Horizontal and Vertical Calibration of a known distance:
golf club / javelin / treadmill / cricket wicket / 1m rule...
(ii) Horizontal Calibration.
(iii) Vertical Calibration.
(iv) Any direction calibration.
All calibration measurements can be Imperial or Metric.
This calibration procedure is required for the analysis
program.
Note: The video image must be at 90 degrees to the optical
axis of the camera and must have a known reference in
view. Once a common origin has been defined, a simple
transformation from video image to object co-ordinates
can be made. The user must use a fixed camera, on a tripod,
with a fixed zoom.

| Frame
Templates:
First select the number of points to be used
in the digitisation model (1-21 points). In the example
below 8 points are selected. Each point can be renamed:
Hip, Knee, Ankle and Toe... The colour of each point can
be altered by a single right click in the colour box.
Secondly,the step size can be altered for a lower digitisation
frequency.
Thirdly the pen size (thickness of the line connecting
the points) can be altered.
Finally the table layout allows for ease of use in creating
point trajectory templates.

Zoom Function:
Essential for accurate digitisation and production
of data, this function provides a zoom window where the
video file is magnified. (Up to 10 x magnification). |
|
Edit Current
Frame Displays:
This
feature allows you to undo your last digitised points and
also create a trace of exisiting points to increase accuracy.
Crosses, and lines allow you to view previous digitised
points. Any trace can be saved and then added to at a later
date. |
|
Overlay Animation:
All animations can be overlaid onto video files
and viewed synchronised with the video footage. 3 options
of animation display are offered: lines, smoothed lines
and crosses. The first two are shown below. 3 options of
animation trace are provided, individual frame, complete
and progressive. The progressive trace is shown below. |
|
Split
Screen Animation Window:
Animation figures can also be seen in a separate
animation window. This window is synchronised with the main
window. The animation window contains the single image capture
feature (more)
and can also be used for multi-captures (more)
as shown below. |
|
Interactive
Graphs and Data:
All graphs and data produced in the Quintic
Digitisation module are interactive with the video file.
The graphs and data values change as
the video plays frame by frame. This allows distances, velocities and accelerations
to be displayed in the graphical window. |
Event
Markers:
This function is used to identify specific points
along the point trajectory: for example club head velocity
at impact. Up to 20 event markers can be used for any one
video clip. In order to create event markers that are visible
on the analysis program, the user draws a line bi-secting
the point trajectory. The point at which the line crosses
the point trajectory in the main window will be indicated
by a vertical line within the analysis program (see diagram
below). This will then represent the impact point of the
golf club with the ball. |
Filters & Exporting Data (Raw & Smoothed):
All data produced in the Quintic
Digitisation module can be exported to Microsoft
Excel. One simple click away, this feature allows for further
analysis of the raw data. Butterworth Filters, Spectral Density Function, Residual at Cut of Frequency, Interactive Frequency Analysis, Mean, Standard Deviation, Durban Watson... |
|
| Distance
Measurement:
This tool allows you to measure a distance (metres/feet)
on the video file once it has been calibrated.
|

Synchronise
with RSccan - Gait & Balance
All video files, graph and data displays in Quintic Biomechanics can be synchronised with the RSscan Footscan Pressure Plate data.
The user can see the pressure, weight distribution, centre of pressure measurements and visual output of the RSscan Footscan Pressure Plate in synchronisation with the video images and data from Quintic Biomechanics using separate synchronised dual windows. The Quintic synchronisation module is included free of charge upon request.
