2D / 3D Motion Capture

Possible applications

  • Professional bikefitting
  • Detailed analysis of the rider position on the bike
  • Before/ after comparison of bikefit related changes

  • Identifying malpositions of the hip (back perspective)
  • Identifying frontal knee tracking
  • Automatic marker tracking

Details

Velogic Studio enables professional motion analysis in bike fitting: Using a high-end 3D depth camera, three-dimensional data can be blended on 2D video images. This allows for detailed analysis of both posture and body motion while pedalling. The automatic marker tracking provides an accurate and highly efficient method of data collection. In the analysis software, various body positions and joint angle trajectories of the human body during the pedaling motion can be evaluated.

This allows for adjustments to the geometry (handlebar – saddle, vertical – horizontal) to ensure an ergonomically favorable seating position. Furthermore, misalignments of the leg axis or the shoe-pedal connection can be more easily identified and corrected to avoid improper loading.

GP BikeView was developed for the biomechanic movement analysis on the bike and allows for a customer-oriented bikefitting process.

Up to two cameras record the cyclist from different angles – front, back and sides. This permits analysing the pedalling movement, determining the joint angles and evaluating the body posture. Malpositions in the leg axis or the shoe- pedal-adjustment can be visualized and corrected accordingly. This optimizes the ergonomic fit and helps avoiding inappropriate biomechanical stress.

Adding angles, plumb lines or grids to the view makes interpretation easy. For single videos it is possible to zoomin to individual pictures and to adapt the speed with which the recording is played. To complete the software’s analytical capacities, it is furthermore possible to simultaneously play up to four videos, allowing for the comparison of different perspectives or different adjustments. The ability to track the changes on the screen turns the bike-
fitting process in a valuable experience for the customer! Attractive documentation and reporting functions guarantee a perfect advisory quality and enhance the customer experience.
