Point-Light Visualization Developer, Version 1.0 User Guide

Abstract

This report is a user guide for the Point-Light Visualization Developer, ver1.0 (PLVD1.0), a software utility developed by 711 HPW/RHPA to enable the hand digitization of point-light imagery from 2D video sequences. Although there are model-based algorithms capable of automatically digitizing human point-light walkers from 2D video imagery, such algorithms are often limited by camera perspective, object occlusion, and clothing coverage. Furthermore, users may wish to develop point-light representations of objects in a video sequence other than humans. While manually intensive, PLVD1.0 allows the user the flexibility to create point-light video images from a diverse range of 2D video sequences for purposes of human perception/cognition studies and time series analysis of fiducial motion. Ultimately, this software is intended to facilitate the analysis of human and object motion.
