‘Instant’ Analysis of Movement

Abstract
The study of walking and other dynamic behaviour patterns has challenged the experimental ingenuity of researchers since Muybridge first demonstrated in a series of still pictures that galloping horses raise all four legs from the ground at once. The use of moving film improves the situation but still suffers from a fundamental disadvantage in the time required to process and analyse the changes in the image from frame to frame. A number of suggestions have been made to make film analysis more time effective but the difficulties are an inherent feature of the storage medium.
