Choosing an appropriate camera arrangement
When planning a new motion capture session, it is important to consider how to place your cameras.
When planning a new motion capture session, it is important to consider how to place your cameras. Sometimes a creative camera arrangement is necessary to capture all of your markers well.
In this video, Laura and Mari discuss how to set up cameras for different capture scenarios. They explain some of the camera arrangements that they have used in their research. A few important questions are addressed:
- How do you arrange cameras when capturing full-body motion, which has some very high markers (heads) and some very low markers (feet)?
- How do you arrange cameras if your subjects will be placed far apart?
- Why should you be careful about placing cameras on tripods?
