Create a labeling skeleton template

If you cannot use one of the Vicon-supplied labeling skeleton templates (see Create a new subject from a template in the Vicon Nexus User Guide), you must create a labeling skeleton template (.vst file) for each type of subject whose motion is to be captured. You can then use the custom VST to automatically label trials containing subjects of that type.

To create a labeling skeleton template in Vicon Nexus, you first define a marker set. Using the Labeling Template Builder in Nexus, you then create and link segments based on reconstructed markers that you select in the 3D Perspective view, calibrate the skeleton template, and save the file for use with subsequent trials. The following topics describe how to do this:

• Design a marker set
• Create a subject node and prepare a subject
• Capture and reconstruct the marker set
• Add parameters to a labeling skeleton template (optional step)
• Create the skeletal structure
• Assign marker and segment properties
• Optimize a custom labeling skeleton template
• Save a custom labeling skeleton template
