英文摘要
Video analysis software is a staple of the modern undergraduate physics laboratory, enabling students to extract quantitative kinematic data from real-world phenomena. In this paper, we introduce PhysTrackX, a modern, open-source video analysis framework designed to minimize cognitive load and maximize pedagogical value. Built with a streamlined graphical interface, PhysTrackX features a comprehensive set of functionalities including video trimming, spatial calibration, and coordinate system definition with robust, machine learning based tracking. Furthermore, it introduces an integrated optical character recognition (OCR) module for synchronizing kinematic motion with external digital sensor displays, an interactive geometry plugin for in-situ spatial measurements, and a data management tool. In this article, we introduce the software and its functionality through some case studies.
