Tracker Video Analysis

Tracker Video Analysis: Physics Video Analysis Software

Physics video analysis software designed for introductory mechanics, featuring tracking objects in videos, manual position marking, model creation, graph analysis, data export, and more.

What is Tracker Video Analysis?

Tracker Video Analysis is free, open-source physics video analysis software designed primarily for introductory mechanics. It is developed by Douglas Brown as part of the Open Source Physics project.

Key features of Tracker include:

• Tracking objects automatically or manually in videos
• Drawing models and diagrams over video frames
• Creating mathematical models step-by-step
• Analyzing graphs and data numerically and visually
• Exporting data, graphs, models and track coordinates
• Calibrating video clips spatially and temporally
• Annotating video frames
• Slow motion and manual video control
• Compatible with common video formats

Tracker is commonly used in physics education to analyze motions in areas like mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, reproduction of various physics experiments, etc. The ability to overlay diagrams and plots makes it a useful visualization and modeling tool. The export functionality also allows sharing analyses with others.

Overall, Tracker Video Analysis aims to be an accessible and versatile program for quantitative video analysis tailored for physics education.
