生物力学实验室提供有关 提供给临床医生和研究人员。 的 BEIP升级了斯坦霍普博士的Vicon运动和图像分析系统 通过设计和制造六个摄像机单元，每个单元具有可变的 强度双波长红外频闪。 升级解决了许多 原始Vicon系统的问题，但快速运动分析仍然是 受限于系统每秒25帧的慢帧速率。 的 生物力学实验室需要一个系统，以每帧2000帧的速度采集数据。 一下 为了满足这一要求，斯坦霍普博士要求 BEIP开发了一个三维运动测量系统，采用了一种新颖的 由安德鲁·戴尼斯博士申请专利。 CRADA的条款规定， 美国国立卫生研究院将开发一种临床操作三维运动分析系统; 返回，NIH将保留该系统。 戴尼斯博士将拥有 到BEIP的设计部分。 在这次生物力学实验中 实验室和Dainis博士，BEIP将开发，制造和测试 电子系统 戴尼斯博士将负责研发CCD的光学系统 线性阵列和系统软件。 专利的理念是， 每个摄像机将有四个线性CCD阵列，每个阵列有一个 特别设计的透镜。 阵列被放置在相机的正面 以一种特殊的模式将来自目标的光源转换成它的 空间坐标

The Biomechanics Laboratory makes quantitative information concerning human motion available to clinicians and researchers at the NIH. The BEIP has upgraded Dr. Stanhope's Vicon Motion and Image Analysis System by designing and fabricating six video-camera units, each with a variable intensity dual-wavelength infrared strobe. The upgrade solved many of the original Vicon system's problems, but fast motion analysis is still limited by the system's slow frame rate of 25 frames per second. The Biomechanics Laboratory requires a system to take data at 2000 frames per second. To satisfy this requirement, Dr. Stanhope requested that the BEIP develop a three-dimensional motion measurement system, using a novel idea patented by Dr. Andrew Dainis. The terms of the CRADA state that the NIH will develop a clinical operating 3-D motion analysis system; in return, the NIH will keep the system. Dr. Dainis will have all rights to the BEIP's part of the design. In this venture with the Biomechanics Laboratory and Dr. Dainis, the BEIP will develop, fabricate, and test the system electronics. Dr. Dainis will develop the optics for the CCD linear arrays and the system software. The idea of the patent is that each camera will have four linear CCD arrays, with each array having a specially designed lens. The arrays are placed on the face of the camera in a special pattern to translate a light source from a target into its spatial coordinates.
