Marcador 6D
Measure position and orientation in six degrees of freedom—X, Y, Z, roll, pitch, and yaw—using one camera and one compact marker.
Track complex movement with a simple setup
The 6D-Marker provides a practical alternative to conventional multi-camera motion-capture systems for testing environments where space, access, and setup time are limited.
One Camera
Capture complete six-degree-of-freedom movement without a large multi-camera array.
Six Degrees of Freedom
Measure X, Y, Z position together with roll, pitch, and yaw orientation.
Marker Variations
Identify and analyze up to 32 marker patterns, numbered from 0 through 31.
Designed for measurement and analysis
Photron’s 6D-Marker system combines the physical marker with image-analysis software to calculate marker position and orientation from recorded image data.
Its compact structure makes it suitable for automotive impact testing, engine vibration studies, steering movement analysis, biomechanics, aerospace research, and machine-vision applications.
- Measures translation and rotation from recorded images
- Supports challenging tests with limited camera access
- Provides visual tracking and graphical measurement results
Purpose-built reference patterns improve tracking
Precision Reference Points
Reference points at the four corners provide the geometry required to calculate three-dimensional position and six-degree-of-freedom movement.
Variable Moiré Pattern
The VMP uses a lenticular lens and changing moiré pattern to improve orientation-angle measurement when viewed from the front.
Flip Detection Pattern
The FDP reverses its black-and-white appearance according to viewing angle, helping the software determine the marker’s physical orientation.
