New Guidelines Released for Recommended Shooting Conditions with VP-Ergono

FUKUOKA, Japan – NEXT-SYSTEM Co.,Ltd. has released a new page detailing the recommended shooting environment for using its AI Ergonomic Evaluation System, VP-Ergono. This new resource is designed to help users achieve the most accurate results by following essential guidelines for optimal shooting conditions.

The guidelines emphasize that for the most precise data capture, the subject (the person being alayzed) should occupy at least one-third of the screen’s height and be fully visible from head to toe. The camera should be positioned at an angle within 60 degrees to ensure optimal alignment with the AI system. Although VP-Ergono is capable of detecting multiple individuals, it is optimized for single-person analysis in load evaluation.

Video quality is also a key factor. The recommended formats are .avi, .mp4, or .mov, and the footage must be in color to ensure compatibility. Clear visibility of the entire body and avoidance of overlaps are essential for reliable results.

Moreover, the shooting environment plays a significant role. Adequate lighting and a background free of distractions—such as portraits or models—are crucial for preventing misidentification. See the picture below for an example of an ideal setup.

When it comes to attire, the guidelines advise wearing clothing that highlights the body’s outline without patterns and ensuring the face remains visible. Properly distinguishing between the upper and lower body through color contrasts or clothing adjustments can further enhance accuracy.

With these new guidelines, NEXT-SYSTEM aims to streamline the process and improve the precision of ergonomic evaluations. For further details and specific examples, check out the dedicated page on our website.
