Motion capture and motion after-effect

An automated time and hand motion analysis based on planar motion capture extended to a virtual environment

In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a manual process using a capture motion system embedded to a virtual environment. Capture motion system trac...

Motion Capture Implies Motion Extrapolation

Articulated Motion Analysis from Motion Capture Data

We present computational methods to extract and model different joints of a generic subject, in an automatic way. The input for our methods is simply a set of trajectories of 3D points, obtained from a motion capture system (MOCAP). Due to the piecewise rigidity of the skeleton, these trajectories belong to different subspaces (of the space of all possible trajectories). We use this knowledge t...

Markerless Facial Motion Capture

With the ever-rising capabilities of motion capture systems; this project explored markerless facial motion capture programs using the Kinect Sensor for Xbox. Many systems today still use markers and end up retargeting after a motion capture recording. This project used a simpler process of setting up and being able to display the effects live. An off-the-shelf system was built using a computer...

Crowd motion capture

In this paper a new and original technique to animate a crowd of human beings is presented. Following the success of data-driven animation models (such as motion capture) in the context of articulated figures control, we propose to derivate a similar type of approach for crowd motions. In our framework, the motion of the crowds are represented as a time series of velocity fields estimated from ...
