Abstract

Optical motion capture systems are prone to errors connected to marker recognition (e.g., occlusion, leaving the scene, or mislabeling). These errors are then corrected in the software, but the process is not perfect, resulting in artifact distortions. In this article, we examine four existing types of artifacts and propose a method for detection and classification of the distortions. The algorithm is based on the derivative analysis, low-pass filtering, mathematical morphology, and loose predictor. The tests involved multiple simulations using synthetically-distorted sequences, performance comparisons to human operators (concerning real life data), and an applicability analysis for the distortion removal.
