Abstract: This invention relates to a motion diagnosis system which picks up motions of a subject and analyzes them, and is characterized by measuring address data at points of images thus picked up according to a trigger condition set in advance, displaying the result of the measurement in graphic images or stored images or in comparison with reference images, outputting the evaluation of such comparison to thereby enable measurement under flexible trigger conditions and analyzing the motions of the subject based on quantitative data in a manner easily understandable by the viewers and simple operation.

Abstract: A mark (something like a reflecting tape which reflects light in the coaxial direction when the light is applied, or an infrared radiant) attached on an object is caught with the coaxial light (visible radiation, infrared light) by a TV camera or infrared TV camera, and video signals from the camera are processed in binary in an image processing apparatus. Consequently, a high luminous mark appears on a binary image, and the primary moment center values (so called "centroid") on the high luminous binary image are calculated on real time, for instance, every 1/60 second, and fed back to an electrically-powered driving part of a lighting unit, so that the lighting is always applied to the position. An electrically-powered turn table automatically operates the control of the lighting directions by the signals feed backed. By carrying out a series of controls precisely as mentioned above, the lighting can be applied by the lighting unit tracking automatically the position of the moving mark.
