[0002] A motion capture system is a high-tech device used to accurately measure the motion status of a moving object in three-dimensional space. Based on the principle of computer graphics, it records the motion status of the moving object (tracker) in the form of images through several video capture devices arranged in space, and then uses a computer to process the image data to obtain the spatial coordinates (X, Y, Z) of different objects (trackers) at different time measurement units.

[0003] Motion capture systems are now widely used. For example, in the medical industry, a motion capture device that uses cameras and calibrators to extract acupuncture manipulation data. The cameras and calibrators usually require a complex disassembly and installation process, which not only increases the workload of operators but also may cause damage or errors in the device during repeated use. In addition, the prior art has the problem of low accuracy during the calibration process, which affects the accuracy of the captured motion data and thus the effect of subsequent data analysis and application. The characteristics of cumbersome operation and time-consuming also make the prior art less efficient in practical applications and unable to meet the user's demand for fast and accurate motion capture.

[0004] A quick-disassembly and assembly mechanism with the application number CN202123239423.3 includes a quick-assembly main body and a quick-assembly plate detachably connected to the top of the quick-assembly main body.

Although the above structure can achieve the quick assembly and disassembly of the quick-assembly main body and the quick-assembly plate, is convenient to use, has a long service life, reduces wear, and improves the stability and reliability of the quick-disassembly and assembly mechanism, it is not applicable to synchronously calibrated multi-view small-range multi-dimensional motion capture, and the complex structure causes the problem of high equipment cost.

[0030] Embodiment

[0031] As Figures 1-9As shown in the figure, a synchronously calibrated multi-view small-range multi-dimensional motion capture device that can be quickly disassembled and assembled includes two bottom supports 1 arranged in parallel. A plurality of through holes 2 are evenly distributed on the bottom support 1. The through holes 2 can achieve weight reduction for the carrying, disassembly, and assembly of the overall device. Support bridges 3 are provided at the ends of the bottom support 1. Two support bridges 3 at the same end of the two bottom supports 1 are respectively connected to the two ends of the camera support plate 4, and the other two support bridges 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the calibrator support plate 5. A first card slot 6 adapted to the structure of the support bridge 3 is provided on the bottom support 1. The first card slot 6 facilitates the quick positioning and installation of the support bridge 3 on the bottom support 1. A second card slot 7 adapted to the structure of the camera support plate 4 or the calibrator support plate 5 is provided on the support bridge 3. The second card slot 7 facilitates the quick positioning and installation of the camera support plate 4 or the calibrator support plate 5 on the support bridge 3. Arc-shaped grooves 8 are provided in both the first card slot 6 and the second card slot 7. The arc-shaped grooves 8 are used in cooperation with the balls 93 in the first quick disassembly and assembly component 9.

[0032] Between the bottom support 1 and the support bridge 3, between the support bridge 3 and the camera support plate 4, and between the support bridge 3 and the calibrator support plate 5, they are all connected by the first quick disassembly and assembly component 9. The first quick disassembly and assembly component 9 includes a fixed cylinder 91, a rotating rod 92 and a spherical ball 93. The fixed cylinder 91 is integrally connected with the support bridge 3, the camera support plate 4 or the calibrator support plate 5. A guiding groove 10 and a locking groove 11 are provided inside the fixed cylinder 91. The rotating rod 92 is located in the guiding groove 10. The top end of the rotating rod 92 extends out of the guiding groove 10 and is connected with a handle 94. The handle 94 and the rotating rod 92 are connected by a second bolt 95. A latch pin 96 is provided on the rotating rod 92. A spiral track 97 adapted to the structure of the latch pin 96 is provided on the inner wall of the guiding groove 10. When the rotating rod 92 is rotated by the handle 94, the latch pin 96 can move along the spiral track 97 to realize the rise or fall of the rotating rod 92. A convex block 98 extending into the locking groove 11 is provided at the bottom end of the rotating rod 92. The distance between the outer wall of the convex block 98 and the groove wall of the locking groove 11 gradually increases from top to bottom. The bottom surface of the convex block 98 is connected with a baffle 910 by a first bolt 99. The number of spherical balls 93 is at least two and they are located on the baffle 910. The spherical balls 93 are arranged corresponding to the round holes 12 on the side wall of the locking groove 11.

Arc-shaped grooves 8 corresponding to the round holes 12 are provided on both the bottom support 1 and the support bridge 3. After the rotating rod 92 is lowered by the handle 94, the convex block 98 can press the side part of the spherical ball 93 into the arc-shaped groove 8, realizing the locking between the bottom support 1 and the support bridge 3, between the support bridge 3 and the camera support plate 4, or between the support bridge 3 and the calibrator support plate 5, and ensuring the stability of the locked state to avoid shaking. After the rotating rod 92 is raised by the handle 94, the convex block 98 releases the spherical ball 93, and the spherical ball 93 leaves the arc-shaped groove 8 under the action of the arc-shaped groove 8 and gravity and returns to the baffle 910, realizing the disassembly between the bottom support 1 and the support bridge 3, between the support bridge 3 and the camera support plate 4, or between the support bridge 3 and the calibrator support plate 5.

[0033] At least two cameras 13 are provided on the camera support plate 4, and a calibrator 14 is provided on the calibrator support plate 5. The camera 13 and the camera support plate 4, and the calibrator 14 and the calibrator support plate 5 are connected through a second quick disassembly assembly 15. The second quick disassembly assembly 15 includes a base 151, a buckle 152, a connecting rod 153 and a triangular prism-shaped mounting hole 154. The top surface of the base 151 is provided with a mounting groove that is compatible with the structure of the camera 13 or the calibrator 14. The bottom surface of the base 151 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 153, and the connecting rod 153 is penetrated with a buckle 152 and a spring 155. The spring 155 is located between the buckle 152 and the support plate at the bottom end of the connecting rod 153. The buckle 152 is compatible with the structure of the triangular prism-shaped mounting hole 154, and the buckle 152 is rounded to play a guiding role and is more convenient to rotate. The triangular prism-shaped mounting hole 154 is located on the camera support plate 4 and the calibrator support plate 5 and is arranged corresponding to the camera 13 and the calibrator 14. The triangular prism-shaped mounting hole 154 is designed with three installation adjustment options, which increases the adaptability of the device. After the connecting rod 153 and the buckle 152 pass through the triangular prism-shaped mounting hole 154, the buckle 152 is rotated 60 degrees. The buckle 152 will press the bottom surface of the base 151 under the action of the spring 155, so as to fix the camera 13 on the camera support plate 4 or the calibrator 14 on the calibrator support plate 5.

[0034] When in use, the bottom support 1 is fixed on the bed, and the first quick disassembly assembly component and the second quick disassembly assembly component 15 are used to realize the quick disassembly and assembly of the camera 13 and the calibrator 14. After installation, the two cameras 13 and the calibrator 14 are fixed in an absolute position and can independently become a coordinate. There is no need to calibrate separately each time, which improves the accuracy and convenience of calibration and is more conducive to the extraction of acupuncture technique data.

[0035] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned structure of a quickly disassembled and synchronously calibrated multi-view small-range multi-dimensional motion capture device, which can use the first quick disassembly component and the second quick disassembly component to achieve rapid deployment and efficient use of the motion capture device. After the first quick disassembly component is self-locked, the bumps, balls and arc-shaped grooves are used to achieve complete fit without shaking, thereby increasing the stability of the mechanism; the two cameras and a calibrator are located at absolute positions and can independently become a coordinate, without the need for separate calibration each time, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of calibration, and being more conducive to the extraction of acupuncture technique data.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
