Method of measuring the types of motion and configuration of biological and non-biological objects

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for measuring the type of motion and configuration of objects by observation of the objects and evaluation of the observation results, including the steps of: producing data representative of an image of the objects in a selected plane at successive time intervals; deriving, from the data for each time, interval, a representation of only one pair of coordinate values in the plane for each object; producing from the coordinate, values, representations of motion paths for the objects during a plurality of the time intervals; and producing from the motion, path representations, representations of the path traversed by each object, and the average local position the period of dwell, …
