چکیده

Human motion capture has a wide variety of applications, and in vision-based motion capture systems a major issue is the human body model and its initialization. We present a computer vision algorithm for building a human body model skeleton in an automatic way. The algorithm is based on the analysis of the human shape. We decompose the body into its main parts by computing the curvature of a B-spline parameterization of the human contour. This algorithm has been applied in a context where the user is standing in front of a camera stereo pair. The process is completed after the user assumes a predefined initial posture so as to identify the main joints and construct the human model. Using this model, the initialization problem of a vision-based markerless motion capture system of the human body is solved. © 2012 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Optimal Trajectory Generation for a Robotic Worm via Parameterization by B-Spline Curves

In this paper we intend to generate some set of optimal trajectories according to the number of control points has been applied for parameterizing those using B-spline curves. The trajectories are used to generate an optimal locomotion gait in a crawling worm-like robot. Due to gait design considerations it is desired to minimize the required torques in a cycle of gait. Similar to caterpillars,...

Estimation of the Accuracy of a Shape-from-silhouette Markerless Motion Capture System

INTRODUCTION The most common methods for accurate capture of three-dimensional human motion require a laboratory environment and the attachment of markers or fixtures to the body segments. These laboratory conditions can cause adaptive changes to normal patterns of locomotion that introduce experimental artifact. For example, it has been shown that attaching straps to the thigh or shank alters ...
