ANIMAL SCIENCE
Designed for any skeleton type
Frequent Searches
Horses have been recorded inside arenas and on treadmills, but this marks the first time that motion capture cameras have been used under actual race conditions.
The motion capture data is being used to create mathematical models designed to help create a better understanding of how much stress can safely be put on a race horse, and how long they need to heal.
This will lead to better training regimens for horses, which could lead to better performances and longer careers.
Read moreMotion capture is employed commonly in veterinary science as a teaching aid.
Through collection and measurement of data, rather than observation and experience, more accurate diagnoses of animal injuries can be made.
As every application is different, we work with our customers to help check and refine their skeleton labelling template files in Nexus to achieve the desired outcomes and track the required movements – even if that’s working with a non-anatomically correct template or subject.
We’ve helped our customers with all kinds of models – from the small to the large, and the fast to the slow.
With Nexus software, once you’ve created your custom skeleton template, you can go ahead and capture any animal or movement you want.
Nexus is designed to deal with all kinds of skeletons – and once you have a template, re-using it on other subjects is easy. Simply calibrate it, then Nexus automates the labelling for you.
We don’t stop working with you once you’ve created your template.
To compute valid kinematics or kinetics, you must either use a pre-defined biomechanical model (such as Vicon Plug-in Gait – just run the pipeline in Nexus) or create your own model using MATLAB or Python.
Our expert life sciences support team will help guide you and provide the tools and advice on scripting, so you can create your own models.
Nexus is our platform designed specifically for the needs of the life sciences community, at every level. Not only do we offer native CGM2 integration, but allow clinicians and surgeons to run the pipeline alongside other biomechanical models, to assess the variations and make a clinical decision on the appropriate model for each specific research project. As one of the key partners in driving forward the development of CGM2, Vicon systems are the most clinically validated available.
In Nexus 2.10, with hard sync, you can access the full sensor capability for highly accurate synchronization of inertial data with the precise tracking data from Vicon’s optical cameras. Within Nexus 2.10, Blue Trident will offer quaternions, allowing researchers to add inertial data on joint impacts and limb movement.
