Provision of a Markerless Motion Capture System

Descriptions

This contract was for a marker-less motion capture system to assess human movement of recruits during military specific activities and tasks. The Contract had the following requirements •A minimum of an 8-camera set up with all necessary devices, hardware, peripherals and software to support. Including but not limited to; marker-less tracking software + licence and support; Visual 3D professional software + licence and support; electronically accessible and secure software download; Camera batteries (rechargeable); Control box; SD card with adequate capacity + adapter; Computer (laptop) (stand-alone) + adequate processor to support large data sets; Windows applications (10 minimum); video card; memory ≥8GB; hard drive ≥1TB. •Comparable in accuracy and precision to gold-standard marker-based systems (e.g., Vicon, Qualisys) (sagittal/frontal/transverse plane joint angles and spatio-temporal variables) for walking, running and jumping activities. Provide empirical evidence (impartial preferred). •Accuracy maintained to acceptable levels with individuals wearing camouflage clothing, rucksacks and other military equipment occluding key landmarks; in cluttered environments, and with moving backgrounds (such as cars or other people). •Options for different capture volumes (i.e. differing quotes for different sizes) - minimum capture area of 10m x 10m •Able to work indoors and outdoors (include IP ratings for electronic equipment). •Licences will be accessed from electronic links and websites. •Outputs to, and includes, suitable post-capture biomechanical analytical software (e.g., Visual 3D) •Robust enough to operate in field settings (plus lab) (include IP ratings for electronic equipment). •Portable - including battery powered for outdoor operation. •Ability to capture multiple individuals simultaneously (≥ 3). •Limited set-up time for each situation (described above) including minimal input from the participant •User guides and additional one-to-one support
