Quote - Sorry, just trying to help. Syntheyes has the same problem with very fast tracking, so the program allows you to track points by hand.

Have you actually tried to use Syntheyes to capture human motions?  It looks difficult according to some of the posts in their forum. > Quote - hence dale's technique. it might be tedious at 120 frames per second (or faster)

and a minute of motion per file, but at least an human can tell which marker is which
with less difficulty than a computer, if all the markers are identical in size, shape,
labelling, colour, etc. one might need "smart markers" to more easily automate that,
or else make sure the frame rate was fast enuff to keep marker movement small,
compared to marker spacing.

It is already possible to manually identify the markers.  But as you say it can be tedicous soon if you have to do it often.
