Motion capture system and method comprising a plurality of cameras and image processor using image data from each camera, wherein each camera comprises an accelerometer with processing dependent on an output from accelerometers. In another arrangement each of the cameras comprises a temperature sensor with processing dependent on temperature sensor output. One of the cameras may be selected based accelerometer output with processing dependent on which camera is selected. Image data, configuration data and a visual indication of camera selection may be displayed on a user interface. Cameras may be selected in response to a perturbation in camera motion sensor output when larger than a threshold, with different processing performed depending on the direction of the perturbation. Cameras may be selected when accelerometer output matches a signature output such as a user finger tap. Multiple finger tapping may be required. Cameras may be physically separate and mounted independently with wireless communication. Accelerometer output may be used to detect change in camera orientation by detecting change in the direction of gravity relative to camera body. MoCap cameras with built-in accelerometers and/or temperature sensors helps to reduce the time-consuming motion capture setup and calibration procedures. |
