Skeleton XML editing

The skeleton definition or template can be edited in a text editor. The most important elements that can be edited are listed below. For the complete XML specification, see the information about Skeleton XML parameters in the RT protocol documentation.

• Marker weight
  Edit the value of the <weight> tag to change the relative weighting of a marker for solving the segment pose.

• 

• Degrees of freedom
  Add or remove degrees of freedom for a segment by adding or removing the corresponding tags under the <DegreesOfFreedom> tag.

• 

• It is also possible to apply constraints to the degrees of freedom by adding or modifying upper and lower bounds.

• 

The following elements can also be edited in a skeleton definition:

• Scale factor
  Change the skeleton scale factor by modifying the <scale> tag. For more information about the scale factor, see chapter Scale factor.

• 

• Segment labels
  Edit the segment label to use alternative segment names.

• 

• Modified segment names cannot be used in combination with a Skeleton template.

• Marker labels
  Edit the marker labels, for example to apply the skeleton definition to existing labeled files with different marker names.

• 

• For calibrating a skeleton with alternative marker labels, you will need to use a label mapping, see chapter Skeleton marker label mapping.

• Removing segments
  Remove segments for partial skeleton solving. Note that the root segment and all intermediate segments between the root and the respective end segments should be present.
