总结:Motion tracking is a widely used image processing technique, where the goal is to follow and register the movement of specified objects over time, from video recordings. Thanks to the development of optical devices and tracking algorithms, the popularity of the method among researchers is continuously growing in a rich area of applications. Despite the interest, there is currently no free and open-source motion tracking software, which can satisfy the growing demands of the scientific community for engineering applications. This paper introduces Motion Tracker Beta: a GUI based open-source motion tracking application. With multiple implemented tracking algorithms, the possibility of multi-object, rotation or size change tracking and a diverse set of numerical differentiation methods for velocity and acceleration calculations, the aim of the software is to facilitate motion analysis in various research areas. The software and the source code are available at https://github.com/flochkristof/motiontracker.
