66 -- HIGH RESOLUTION 3-D VIDEO-BASED MOTION ANALYSIS SYSTEM SOL CBD&&&-9602-0001 POC Contract Specialist Michael G. Lee 601-634-2490 (Site Code DACW39) The USAE Waterways Experiment Station proposes to award a contract to Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, California, under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 759(g), as amended, for a High Resolution 3-Dimensional Video-Based Motion Analysis System (EV HiRES 3D system). This system will be used to capture the motion of objects in 3-dimensions and to assist in documenting activities such as the 3-dimensional motion of model vessels and floats in physical navigation models. The Contractor will provide all of the following minimum requirements/features: (1) means of motion data capture, (2) means of compressed data processing, (3) means of viewing video picture under normal ambient lighting conditions, (4) means of data analysis and results presentation, (5) test subject shall not be connected to measuring apparatus or any other device at any time, (6) markers to be of passive unimpeding type, so as to not limit or hinder the movement of subject, (7) markers to be near massless, chemically, thermally, and visually safe, (8) 3-D coordinates of movement to be obtained automatically without intervention of the operator, (9) 360-degree viewing perspective of 3-D data, (10) interpolation algorithms for resolving gaps in trajectories due to marker obscuration, (11) ability to edit x, y, z trajectories in the time domain with the ability to join and exchange marker trajectories, (12) full high resolution BW video image viewing from both recorded and live video with image processing overlay capability, (13) data acquisition to be independent of lighting conditions, with identical accuracy for indoor and outdoor test applications, (14) real-time video processing to include windowing, editing, and per pixel masking capabilities, (15) automatic 3-D tracking of data, (16) precision better than 0.03% (x,y,z), (17) accuracy better than 0.05% (x,y,z), (18) import/export capability via ASCII files. This system will be software compatible with the proprietary software used on an existing HiRES 30 motion analysis system so data can be analyzed on either, regardless of which system collected the information. Motion Analysis is the only known source with the unique capabilities necessary to provide the state-of-the-art equipment described herein, and the only source who can provide compatible software and analysis requisites, so data collected can be analyzed using either the current system or the HiRES 3-D System. Such compatibility is essential in realizing efficiencies in the operation of previously mentioned analyses. Any inquiries must be received within fifteen days from date of publication of this notice. Synopsis published for information purposes only. Solicitation documents are not available. (0046)
