The CvMob is an Open Source tool, created with the OpenCv and Qt libraries, for the movement analysis developed by researchers at the Universidade Federal da Bahia. The software is capable to analyse the trajectories and to determinate the kinematic variables from a movie, that can be done with a simple camera. The tool has proven to be a good alternative to research projects or teaching applications.
The CvMob is available with Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
News
A new version (CvMob 3.6) including the Movement Elements Decomposition Method (MED) is available at download page.
