MoCap Toolbox - A Matlab toolbox for computational analysis of movement data
Abstract
The MoCap Toolbox is a set of functions written in
Matlab for analyzing and visualizing motion capture data.
It is aimed at investigating music-related movement, but
can be beneficial for other research areas as well. Since
the toolbox code is available as open source, users can
freely adapt the functions according to their needs. Users
can also make use of the additional functionality that
Matlab offers, such as other toolboxes, to further analyze
the features extracted with the MoCap Toolbox within the
same environment. This paper describes the structure of
the toolbox and its data representations, and gives an introduction
to the use of the toolbox for research and analysis
purposes. The examples cover basic visualization
and analysis approaches, such as general data handling,
creating stick-figure images and animations, kinematic
and kinetic analysis, and performing Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) on movement data, from which a
complexity-related movement feature is derived.
