Transforms a TDF file (BTS Bioengineering) to a compatible Vicon C3D file.

Syntax:

btkTransformTDFToViconC3DFile(TDF_INPUT)
btkTransformTDFToViconC3DFile(TDF_INPUT, C3D_OUTPUT)

Parameters

TDF_INPUT	Full path of the input TDF file.
C3D_OUTPUT	FULL path for the output C3D file.

Detailed description:

Several modifications are done in the data file:

• First the data are transformed in millimeters and Newton-millimeters.
• The coordinates of the markers and the geometry of the force plateforms are also modified to have the Z axis as the vertical axis. These modifications correspond to a rotation of 90 degrees around the X axis.
• The force plates are converted from type I (FX/FY/FZ/PX/PY/MZ) to type II (FX/FY/FZ/MX/MY/MZ).
• Finally, the analog channels used by the original force plates are deleted.

btkTransformTDFToViconC3DFile(TDF_INPUT) transforms the file and write it in the same folder but the extension C3D is concatenated to the filename.

btkTransformTDFToViconC3DFile(TDF_INPUT, C3D_OUTPUT) transforms the file and write it in the given output filename. The given pathname (aka folders) must exist. Be sure that the given output has a final C3D extension. Otherwise, the ouput file could be in another format or raise an exception if the extension is not recognized.
