Custom Biomechanical Modelling and Analysis for Your Data.
Visual 3D
Data from
Different Sources
With Visual3D, you’re in charge of your analysis. Import data from any 3D motion capture system. Merge marker-based, markerless and analog signals into one coherent analysis. Define the models you want. Find answers to your questions.
Your answers depend on different kinds of data, so you need analysis software that makes it easy to bring everything together in one place. Pull in data from both marker-based and markerless motion capture systems, inertial sensors, force platforms, and EMG to inform your analysis.
Markerless
Visual3D reads in pose estimation data from 3D markerless motion capture systems including Fujitsu, KinaTrax, and Theia.
Marker-based
Visual3D offers complete support for the C3D file format, the biomechanics community’s standard file format for 3D motion capture data.
Force Platform Data
Visual3D easily integrates force platforms into your analysis, enabling inverse dynamics and other kinetic analyses.
Electromyography
Bring EMG data into your motion capture analysis to offer a richer picture of how a movement happens.
Inertial Sensors
Working with pose estimations directly from IMUs? Visual3D reads in and builds 3D models from select vendors.
Partners
See our technology integration partners for a full list of sensor modalities and file formats that we support.
Fully Custom Pose Estimation
Different people and different activities need different models. That’s why Visual3D lets you define your model your way with either 6-degree-of-freedom tracking or inverse kinematics constraints. Adults and kids. Sports equipment and prosthetics. Horses. Robots. The only limit is the data you can collect.
Automatic Model-building
Visual3D offers automatic model-building for 3D markerless and IMU systems, speeding up the analysis process.
Go behind the curtain as well to update, merge, and manage your models.
6 Degrees of Freedom
Visual3D implements 6DOF, or segment optimization, methods for pose estimation based on Capello et al., 1997.
Inverse Kinematics
Visual3D implements Inverse Kinematics, or global optimization, methods for pose estimation based on Lu and O’Connor, 1999.
Constraints:
– Specify 1-6 degrees of freedom
– Weight constraints freely
Optimizers:
– Quasi-Newton
– Levenberg-Marquardt
– L-BFGS-B (Limited-memory Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shannon with box constraints)
Repeatable Analysis
Decisions based on biomechanical insights need to be grounded in robust results. You’re in good hands here with Visual3D.
Visual3D never touches your original data, so you can always rerun your analysis.
All results come with their processing history, providing a clear chain of evidence.
Individual operations are all based on published methods: no black box algorithms.
Save everything as a Visual3D analysis pipeline to ensure that everyone is running the same analysis, whether you’re working in the same lab or collaborating across continents.
