Real-time Full-Body Motion Capture from Video and IMUs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A real-time full-body motion capture system is presented which uses input from a sparse set of inertial measurement units (IMUs) along with images from two or more standard video cameras and requires no optical markers or specialized infra-red cameras. A real-time optimization-based framework is proposed which incorporates constraints from the IMUs, cameras and a prior pose model. The combination of video and IMU data allows the full 6-DOF motion to be recovered including axial rotation of limbs and drift-free global position. The approach was tested using both indoor and outdoor captured data. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for tracking a wide range of human motion in real time in unconstrained indoor/outdoor scenes.

IMU2Face: Real-time Gesture-driven Facial Reenactment
We present IMU2Face, a gesture-driven facial reenactment system. To this end, we combine recent advances in facial motion capture and inertial measurement units (IMUs) to control the facial expressions of a person in a target video based on intuitive hand gestures. IMUs are omnipresent, since modern smart-phones, smart-watches and drones integrate such sensors; e.g., for changing the orientatio...

With seed support (no Co-PI salary nor Ph. D student) from an NSF-funded Engineering Research Center (ERC), we have collected multimodal data—audio, video, Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and motion capture data—of individuals working in a kitchen [1]. To record human behavior in settings that are as natural as possible, we have installed a fully operational kitchen and captured 40 subjects ...
متن کاملReal-time and Markerless Full-Body Human Motion Capture
We propose an efficient real-time method for markerless 3D human motion capture that requires a single computer. Using input from at least three calibrated webcams, an extended ”Shape from Silhouette” algorithm reconstructs the filmed person in real-time. Fasts 3D shape and 3D skin parts analysis provide a robust and real-time system for human full-body tracking. Animation skeleton and simple m...

We present a fully automated system for real-time markerless 3D human motion capture. Our approach, based on fast algorithms, uses simple techniques and requires low-cost devices. Using input from multiple calibrated webcams, an extended Shape-From-Silhouette algorithm reconstructs the person in real-time. Fast 3D shape and 3D skin parts analysis provide a robust and real-time system for human ...
متن کاملReal-time Motion Capture System Using One Video Camera Based on Color and Edge Distribution
This paper proposes a real-time, video based motion capture system using only one video camera. Since conventional video based motion capture systems need many cameras and take a long time to deal with many video images, they cannot generate motion data in real time. Therefore they cannot be used as a real-time input device for a standard PC. On the other hand, the prototype system proposed in ...
