Definition
Kinematic motion models are mathematical models that describe the motion of objects without consideration of forces.
Background
Although kinematics is in general more broadly defined, in computer vision, the term kinematic motion model is usually used synonymously with kinematic chain motion models, a term that comes from the field of robotics. Such a model defines a set of rigid objects (called links) that are connected with joints. The motion of the links is constraint by the degrees of freedom of the joints. For instance, a link can only rotate relative to another link around a joint axis. These models are most commonly used to describe human and animal skeletal models or robotic manipulators. The motion constraints can be used for robust visual tracking of skeletal configurations in single-view or multi-view video. Other kinematic models include special cases like one single rigid object, or more general motion models like...
