Tracker Video Analysis

What is Tracker Video Analysis?

Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool designed for use in physics education. It allows users to visualize videos and track objects within them, providing a powerful way to combine video footage with computer modeling. The application offers a range of features to support video analysis and modeling, including manual and automated object tracking, with overlays for position, velocity, and acceleration data. Users can also track the center of mass, create interactive graphical vectors and vector sums, and analyze RGB line profiles at any angle or time-dependent RGB regions

Highlights

• Object Tracking: Manual and automated tracking of objects within videos, with overlays for position, velocity, and acceleration data
• Center of Mass Tracking: Ability to track the center of mass of objects
• Interactive Visualization: Graphical vectors, vector sums, and RGB line profiles for in-depth video analysis
• Model Building: Model Builder feature creates kinematic and dynamic models of point mass particles and two-body systems
• External Model Integration: Ability to animate and overlay multi-point data from separate modeling programs, such as spreadsheets and Easy Java Simulations, with automatic synchronization and scaling to the video
