Markerless Motion Capture/Evidence
Method evidence record

Markerless Motion Capture

Markerless motion capture infers the 3D positions and joint angles of a moving subject from video sequences using computer vision and machine learning. Pioneered by deep learning approaches such as OpenPose and MediaPipe, it eliminates the need for reflective markers or inertial sensors, making motion capture accessible and practical for real-world applications.
