High-frame rate image acquisition and motion analysis system

Abstract

A high-frame rate image acquisition and motion analysis system comprising a first arrangement to obtain an image of an object; a second arrangement coupled to the first arrangement to slice the image into N analog segments, where N is equal to an integer greater than one; a third arrangement coupled to the second arrangement to convert the N analog segments into N digital data streams; a fourth arrangement coupled to the third arrangement to store each of the N digital data streams; a fifth arrangement coupled to the first arrangement, the second arrangement, the third arrangement and the fourth arrangement to provide software control of the operation thereof, the fifth arrangement further controlling the first arrangement and the second arrangement to adjust separately predetermined variables of each of the N analog segments and further controlling the fourth arrangement to provide a read out of an adjusted version of the image; a common enclosure for the first arrangement, the second arrangement, the third arrangement, the fourth arrangement and the fifth arrangement; and a sixth arrangement disposed externally of the enclosure coupled to the fifth arrangement to control the operation of the fifth arrangement and to display the adjusted version of the image present in the fourth arrangement.
