Abstract: An activity recording system is provided. The activity recording system includes a three-dimensional camera, a sensor arrangement that is fitted to a subject being recorded, and an activity recording device. The activity recording device receives image information from the three-dimensional camera and sensor arrangement information from the sensor arrangement. Both the image information and the sensor arrangement information include location measurements. The sensor arrangement information is generated by location sensors that are positioned at target features of the subject to be tracked. The sensor arrangement information is a key to the image information that specifies where, in any given image, the target features of the subject lie. Activity data having these characteristics may be applied to solve a variety of system development problems. Such activity data can be used to training machine learning components or test computer vision components for a fraction of the cost of using conventional techniques.
