I
i.LINK A proprietary implementation of
the IEEE 1394 standard by Sony
Corporation. Also see IEEE 1394.
IEEE 1394 A standard for connecting
digital devices without requiring analog-
to-digital conversion. It is typically used
for transferring digital video to and from
video equipment and computers and for
connecting storage devices. Vicon MX
supports synchronous movie image
capture using an IEEE 1394 digital video
capture card installed on the host PC.
Also see FireWire, i.LINK, and Reference
video.
IIDC 1394 See DCAM.
Image circle The diameter of the
sharp, circular image that the camera
lens casts onto the sensor. This indicates
the maximum area of usable quality
image that the lens can produce.
Impedance The total opposition to the
flow of alternating or direct current
specified for signal input/output
connections.
Interpolation The process by which
Vicon application software fills a gap in a
trajectory by calculating a smooth curve
between the broken ends. Also see
Trajectory.
Inverse dynamics (kinetics) The
process of calculating the force and
moment (torque) acting on the elements
of an articulated structure, given the
mass, inertia, position, orientation,
velocity, acceleration, angular velocity,
and angular acceleration of those
elements. Inverse dynamics approaches
are used in Vicon application software for
biomechanical modeling applications.
Also see Forward dynamics (kinetics),
Forward kinematics, Inverse kinematics,
and Kinetics.
Inverse kinematics The process of
calculating the angles at all the joints
connecting the elements of an articulated
structure, given the position and
orientation of those elements. Inverse
kinematics approaches are used in Vicon
application software for biomechanical
modeling applications and skeleton
editing.
In animation applications, inverse
kinematics ’solvers’ attempt to deduce
the motion of segments based on a
desired result, commonly the position of
the end element (or effector) in an
articulated structures. Examples are the
positioning of legs by moving the feet, or
of arms by moving the hands. This is an
inverse problem without a unique
solution. Also see Forward dynamics
(kinetics), Forward kinematics, Inverse
dynamics (kinetics), Kinematics, and
Segment.
Iris The device inside the camera lens
that controls the aperture size. Also see
Aperture.
K
Kinematic fitting The process by
which Vicon application software
positions the segments in the kinematic
model so that segments on the model fit
to the labeled trajectories. Also see
3D Workspace, Kinematic model,
Segment, Trajectory, and .vsk file.
Kinematic model A mathematical
description of a moving object. Kinematic
models for subjects or objects whose
motion is being captured or analyzed in a
