Visual3D Tools Compute Model Based Data: Segment Center of Gravity, Proximal Joint, and Distal Joint

One of the key features of Visual3D is the ability to track landmarks accurately. However, as you build your pipelines, you may be interested in knowing the relative position of a point on a segment. In this tutorial, we show you how to use Compute Model Based Data to obtain the coordinates of the center of gravity, proximal joint, and distal joint of a segment. We also show you how to do this with respect to another segment, and show you some tricks by creating virtual segments in your biomechanical model.

Although in this tutorial we show you how to use these functions of Compute Model Based Data, to understand the concepts better check out the dedicated Visual3D Principles Tutorial.

Pipeline commands in this tutorial:

• Compute_Model_Based_Data
  • Seg_CGPosition
  • Seg_Proximal_Joint
  • Seg_Distal_Joint
