Abstract

A method and system for quantifying a cyclic motion within a series of images depicting a moving object subject to composite motion containing a cyclic component and a non-cyclic component of lower frequency than the cyclic component. Composite motion is computed as well as the non-cyclic component as the integral of motion over a motion cycle. The non-cyclic component is subtracted from the composite motion so as to obtain the cyclic component
