Markerless Motion Capture

Traditional marker-based motion capture is accurate but constrained to the laboratory, requiring specialist equipment, calibration and lengthy setup that limit its use in ecologically valid, field-based, or large-scale settings. This research theme explores markerless approaches - using video and pose-estimation/deep learning methods - to capture human movement without reflective markers or wearable sensors.

The effect of camera configuration on multi-camera markerless motion capture for biomechanical analysis

How many strides are needed for reliable markerless gait analysis?

Comparison of Theia3D and the conventional gait model in typically developing children and adults in a clinical gait laboratory

Comparison of Marker- and Markerless-Derived Lower Body Three-Dimensional Gait Kinematics in Typically Developing Children

Background: Marker-based motion capture is the current gold standard for three-dimensional (3D) gait analysis. This is a highly technical analysis that is time-consuming, and marker application can trigger anxiety in children. One potential solution …

The inter-trial and inter-session reliability of Theia3D-derived markerless gait analysis in tight versus loose clothing

Background Gait analysis is traditionally conducted using marker-based methods yet markerless motion capture is emerging as an alternative. Initial studies have begun to evaluate the reliability of markerless motion capture yet …
