Seurantakehikon

Seurantakehikon is a frame or support structure designed to hold and align tracking or monitoring equipment in experimental, imaging, and measurement setups. The term describes a rigid, often modular assembly that provides a stable reference frame for devices such as cameras, sensors, or measurement instruments, enabling accurate tracking of objects or scenes over time.

Seurantakehikon is typically constructed from lightweight, rigid materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber. It commonly features modular rails, clamping points, and adjustable joints to allow multi-axis alignment, height and tilt adjustments, and easy attachment or removal of components. Calibration marks or scales may be integrated to facilitate repeatable positioning.

Applications span several disciplines. In imaging and cinematography, seurantakehikon supports tracking rigs for time-lapse or motion-capture setups. In surveying, geodesy, and astronomy, such frames help stabilize instruments and maintain a fixed relation to a target. In robotics and industrial automation, tracking frames integrate sensors with a robot or fixed installation to monitor position and motion. In medical imaging and radiotherapy, similar frames can immobilize equipment or patients relative to imaging systems, improving accuracy.

The concept is closely related to mounts, rigs, frames, and trusses, with differences primarily in intended use and specificity of attached tracking equipment. See also: mounting frame, rig, tracking system, stereotaxic frame.
