The kinelite project a new powerful motion analyser for spacelab and space station

摘要

The goal of the Kinelite Project is to develop a space qualified motion analysis system to be used in space by the scientific community, mainly to support neuroscience protocols. The measurement principle of the Kinelite is to determine, by triangulation mean, the 3D position of Small, lightweight, reflective markers positioned at the different points of interest. The scene is Illuminated by Infra Red flashes and the reflected light is acquired by up to 8 precalibrated and Synchronized CCD cameras. The main characteristics of the system are: -Camera field of view: 45°, -Number of cameras; 2 to 8, -Acquisition frequency: 25,50,100 or 200 Hz, -CCD format: 256×256, -Number of markers: up to 64, -3D accuracy: 2 mm, -Main dimensions: 45 cm×45 cm×30 cm, Mass: 23 kg, -Power consumption: less than 200 W.
