MOVEMENT ANALYSIS AND/OR TRACKING SYSTEM

摘要

A novel system analyzes and/or tracks the motion of moved or moving objects that carry marker elements glowing in different, defined colors. Cameras record movements and continuously store digital color images. A transformer unit converts the color images into RGB color space. Three color intensities are present for each color pixel. A grayscale image production unit adopts the maximum of the three color intensities for each pixel as the grayscale value. A localization unit exclusively compares each grayscale value with a defined threshold value and stores grayscale values above the threshold value as a member of a pixel cloud that represents a potential marker element. A measuring unit measures the geometry of every pixel cloud exclusively in the grayscale image and deletes pixel clouds that can be excluded as marker elements. An identification unit determines the color of the confirmed pixel clouds in the digitally stored color image.
