XMALab is open-source software for marker-based X-ray Motion Analysis (XMA) and XROMM

The developer is Dr. Ben Knorlein, a computer-vision expert and software engineer at the Center for Computation and Visualization at Brown University.

XMALab integrates distortion correction, calibration, marker tracking, rigid body calculations and filtering all into one program. XMALab replaces all components of the MATLAB X-ray Project workflow. For marker-based XROMM, XMALab generates animation matrices suitable for animating bones in Autodesk Maya.

XMALab development was supported by the US National Science Foundation through an Advances in Biological Informatics grant to PI Elizabeth Brainerd and CoPIs Stephen Gatesy and David Baier.

An XMALab Tutorial is available on the XMAPortal Sandbox.
