Optical Motion Tracking

Optical motion tracking differs from motion capture because in applications such as sports and missiles the object of interest is tracked optically instead of a person. The technology is basically the same, with some differences in that many of the optical motion tracking applications occur outdoors, requiring differing lens and camera configurations.

Famous quotes containing the words optical, motion and/or tracking:

    “It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “I dunno what my 23 infantile years in America signify. I left as soon as motion was autarchic—I mean my motion.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
