Trajectory
Glossary-28 Vicon MX Hardware System Reference
Trajectory The path though space that
a moving marker follows. This
reconstructed data is stored in a file as a
time-series of points with the same label.
A trajectory can be displayed in the
3D Workspace as a line through the
position of a marker in the current field. A
trajectory may consist of a single
uninterrupted path or of a number of
segments. The latter can occur when
markers are obscured from view. Also see
3D Workspace, .c3d file, Field, Label,
Marker, Trajectory, and .trial file.
Translation The movement of an
object along a specified axis. In Vicon
application software, the translation of an
object can be manipulated to change its
displayed position in a 3D Workspace.
Also see 3D Workspace, Rotation and
Scale.
.trc file Track Row Column file. A text
file with extension .trc, which contains
marker and trajectory data in Track Row
Column format. A .trc file can be used to
import data from third-party applications
into some Vicon application software.
Also see Marker and Trajectory.
Trial The result of data capture in a
Vicon system. The two basic types of data
capture are dynamic trials and static
trials. Trial data can be saved to file types
appropriate for the stage of processing.
Also see .c3d file, Dynamic trial, Static
trial, .trial file, .tvd file, and .x2d file.
.trial file A binary file with extension
.trial, which contains all data from a
motion capture trial (e.g. unprocessed 2D
camera, rigid body, virtual point, and
kinematic data). This file can be created
when the real-time stream is acquired by
Vicon motion capture systems and when
offline data is processed in some Vicon
application software. By default, .trial
files are saved to the active Session
folder of the open database. Also see
Data capture, Kinematic model, Motion
capture, Rigid body, Trial, and Virtual
point.
.TrialTypes file An XML file with
extension .TrialTypes, which contains
configuration settings for motion capture
trial setups created in the Capture tools
pane in Vicon Nexus. Also see Nexus.
Trigger A specified event that initiates
or terminates remote data capture or
synchronization in a Vicon system. This
can be when a specific level either in
increasing or decreasing signal is reached
or at a specified point of an incoming
analog signal. Also see Post-triggering,
Remote triggering, and Timecode
triggering.
Truck The moving of a camera side to
side along a horizontal axis (truck left or
truck right). Also see Dolly, Pan, and Tilt.
.tvd file A binary file with extension
.tvd, which contains 2D camera data
previously captured in a Vicon V-series
system. By default, .tvd files are saved to
the active Session folder of the open
database. Also see Eclipse database and
Vicon V-series system.
V
.vad file Vicon Analog Data file. A
binary file with extension .vad, which
contains unprocessed data from analog
data capture. By default, .vad files are
saved to the active Session folder of the
open database. Similar functionality is
provided by the .x1d file in Vicon Nexus.
Also see Analog and Nexus.
VCam A small format, wide-angle lens
CMOS digital sensor camera used in a
Vicon V-series system. This type of
camera is the same specification as an
SV Cam camera with a standard body
and strobe size. Also see CMOS, SV Cam,
and Vicon V-series system.
