Traditionally, video motion analysis has been used in scientific circles for calculation of speeds of projectiles, [2] or in sport for improving play of athletes. Recently, computer technology has allowed other applications of video motion analysis to surface, including things like teaching fundamental laws of physics to school students, or general educational projects in sport and science.
Motion Pictures in Education: A Practical Handbook for Users of Visual Aids is a 1923 non-fiction book by Laura Thornburgh, under the pen name Laura Thornborough, and Don Carlos Ellis, as an early work focusing on using films in classrooms. Scholars believe that the book is among the first major works about using films to teach students. [1]
In general, the term motion signifies a continuous change in the position or configuration of a physical system in space. For example, one can talk about the motion of a wave or the motion of a quantum particle, where the configuration consists of the probabilities of the wave or particle occupying specific positions.
The change of motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed; and is made in the direction of the straight line in which the force is impressed. [ 15 ] : 114 By "motion", Newton meant the quantity now called momentum , which depends upon the amount of matter contained in a body, the speed at which that body is moving, and the ...
The history of motion graphics is closely related to the history of computer graphics, as the new developments of computer-generated graphics led to wider use of motion design not based on optical film animation. The term motion graphics originated with digital video editing in computing, perhaps to keep pace with newer technology. Graphics for ...
The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...
Motion perception is the process of inferring the speed and direction of elements in a scene based on visual, vestibular and proprioceptive inputs. Although this process appears straightforward to most observers, it has proven to be a difficult problem from a computational perspective, and difficult to explain in terms of neural processing.
The following is a simplistic illustrated explanation of how motion compensation works. Two successive frames were captured from the movie Elephants Dream.As can be seen from the images, the bottom (motion compensated) difference between two frames contains significantly less detail than the prior images, and thus compresses much better than the rest.
