Vicon Integration

This component bundles all the things needed to process a session of trials measured with the marker based Vicon Workstation software.

This includes read/write routines for specific Vicon file formats (see the table) and the c3d format with the Vicon specific undocumented extentions.

Processing Vicon Session details

Each Vicon trial is represented by a set of different files with the same file name but different suffixes. The marker timeseries are read from the .c3d-files and additional meta data is read from ent correspoding .enf-files.  The enf-Files can include different groups of properties. In the current implementation of the ViconTrialSet class only the properties from the "TRIAL_INFO" groups are read and saved in the .d3d-files in the property group "ALL".

Additional properties are added to the meta data. Have a look at following table.

Property name Description
SESSION
This attributes should include the name of a session. The directory name which includes the trial is used as session name if it not starts with "Group", else the name of the directory which includes this directory is used instead. (This property is added by the ViconTrialSet class)
