Creating Landmarks
This Tutorial page lists the many different ways to create Landmarks within Visual3D.
Landmark Type 1
Creating a landmark at the end of a segment that is tracked with the segment.
Landmark Type 2
Projecting a marker onto a plane.
Landmark Type 3
Projecting a marker onto one of the principal planes of the laboratory.
Landmark Type 4
Projecting a marker onto a line.
Landmark Type 5
Creating a landmark that defines the location of a segment endpoint relative to 3 tracking markers (or landmarks).
Landmark Type 6
Create a landmark relative to a Segment Coordinate System.
Landmark Type 7
Create a landmark relative to the Global Coordinate System (Lab).
Landmark Type 8
Automatically Created Hip Landmarks
Landmarks defining the location of the hip joint center automatically created when the CODA or Helen Hayes Pelvis segment is created.
Functional Joint Landmarks
Calculation of a functional joint requires movement of one segment relative to another segment. The algorithm searches for a point (or for a one degree of freedom joint, an axis) that is stationary relative to the 2 segments (or 2 sets of markers).

Identifying anatomical landmarks without having to place motion capture markers at the location using a digitizing pointer.
