Motion Capture Implies Motion Extrapolation

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 ...

Motion Capture Data Manipulation

This paper presents an integrated set of tools to facilitate the manipulation and reuse of motion capture data. A functional representation in terms of nonuniform B-splines provides a compact and eecient description of motion sequences. A collection of B-spline curves attached to a hierarchical structure is used to represent the animation of articulated gures. A set of primitive operators actin...

Motion Capture from Movies

Video is the primary archival source for human movement, with examples ranging from sports coverage of Olympic events to dance routines in Hollywood movies. The ability to reliably track the human figure in movie footage would unlock a large, untapped repository of motion data. Figure tracking using a single video source is a challenging problem due to the size of the state space, the presence ...
