Finger Scanning Speed

Finger Scanning Experiments: Participants conducted experiments while seated and wearing an eye mask to eliminate visual information. They were instructed to horizontally scan the surface back-and-forth eight times with one of their fingers to assess surface roughness. The finger's motion was optically captured at a frame rate of 60 fps. Scanning speed was determined by measuring finger positions at each frame and dividing them by the frame length. Image analysis was performed using OpenCV, where the finger outline was extracted from the video.
