WHAT IS VIDEO-BASED MOTION WHAT IS VIDEO-BASED MOTION ANALYSYS?ANALYSYS?

In Motion Video Analysis, experimental In Motion Video Analysis, experimental demonstrations or real-life events involving demonstrations or real-life events involving motion (roller-coaster rides, car race, sports motion (roller-coaster rides, car race, sports events, objects falling, etc.) are recorded on events, objects falling, etc.) are recorded on videos and later analyzed using Logger Pro or videos and later analyzed using Logger Pro or VideoPoint softwareVideoPoint software

The position data are collected from each time The position data are collected from each time frame frame

Positions of objects in the video frame can be Positions of objects in the video frame can be measured by pointing a mouse and clicking.measured by pointing a mouse and clicking.
