Add Model Landmark
Overview
The Add Landmark command is used to create a landmark while creating a model. This command is found in the Pipeline Workshop in the Model Building folder. Landmarks can be added to help define the model beyond just tracking markers. They help provide reference for building segments, locating joints, and help in future calculations.
Pipeline Command
The command, as seen in the pipeline workshop, is below.
Add_Landmark /LANDMARK_NAME= ! /CALIBRATION_FILE= ! /USER_GENERATED=TRUE ! /USE_PERCENTAGE=FALSE ! /CALIBRATION_ONLY=FALSE ! /USE_TARGETS=FALSE ! /SEGMENT_NAME= ! /TARGET_TYPES= ! /TARGET_NAMES= ! /MCS_ML=0.0 ! /MCS_AP=0.0 ! /MCS_AXIAL=0.0 ! /LANDMARK_LOCATION= ! /REFERENCE_LOCATION_TYPE= ! /REFERENCE_LOCATION_NAME= ! /USE_REFERENCE_LOCATION=FALSE ;
Command Parameters
The following table shows the command parameters and descriptions:
| LANDMARK_NAME | The name of the landmark to be created |
| CALIBRATION_FILE | The name of the hybrid model. Use the full pathname |
| USER_GENERATED | Create the landmark as a user-generated landmark |
| USE_PERCENTAGE | Offset by percent (1.0=100%) (Meters when FALSE) |
| CALIBRATION_ONLY | Only used in static trial (calibration) not generated for motion file(s) |
| USE_TARGETS | Use target markers to define the landmark location. |
| SEGMENT_NAME | The segment associated with the landmark |
| TARGET_TYPES | The types of targets used to define the landmark |
| TARGET_NAMES | The names of the targets used |
| MCS_ML | Medial-Lateral offset in the segment coordinate system |
| MCS_AP | Anterior-Posterior offset in the segment coordinate system |
| MCS_AXIAL | Axial offset in the segment coordinate system |
| LANDMARK_LOCATION | Location of the landmark relative to the selected reference |
| REFERENCE_LOCATION_TYPE | The type of reference used to define the landmark location |
| REFERENCE_LOCATION_NAME | The name of the reference landmark, marker, or point |
| USE_REFERENCE_LOCATION | Use a reference location when calculating the landmark position |
Dialog
The command can be edited in a text editor or in a dialog form. To edit in the dialog pop up form either click on the Edit button in the pipeline workshop or double-click on the pipeline command. The dialog is shown below.
Examples
Adding Right Knee Landmark
The following examples shows the command used for defining a right knee landmark. Note the RFLE and RFME are the Medial and Lateral epicondyle's allowing this landmark to be at the center of the knee.
Add_Landmark /LANDMARK_NAME=RIGHT_KNEE /CALIBRATION_FILE=C:\Users\22qhsw\source\repos\Regression_Tests_2024_02_20_Updated\Pipeline_Favourites\Training Data\CMZStatic.c3d ! /USER_GENERATED=TRUE /USE_PERCENTAGE=TRUE /CALIBRATION_ONLY=TRUE /USE_TARGETS=TRUE ! /SEGMENT_NAME= /TARGET_TYPES=TARGET+TARGET /TARGET_NAMES=RFLE+RFME ! /MCS_ML=0.0 ! /MCS_AP=0.0 /MCS_AXIAL=0.5 ! /LANDMARK_LOCATION= ! /REFERENCE_LOCATION_TYPE= ! /REFERENCE_LOCATION_NAME= ! /USE_REFERENCE_LOCATION=FALSE ;
