Model Based Approach to Non-Intrusive Human Motion Capture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modelling and Animation of human movement with the use of motion capture is a valuable process for creating true ‘life-like’ motion for areas such as sports science, entertainment, and the medical industry. Traditional methods involved using intrusive techniques for the purpose of capturing the location and subsequent movements of joints and limbs. This paper describes the work being carried out by the Vision Systems Group of Dublin City University, where non-intrusive human motion capture techniques are used. It outlines the fully kinematical model created and the system used to segment and track a moving human from video sequences, using vision processing means only.

High-quality non-intrusive human motion capture is necessary for acquistion of model-based free-viewpoint video of human actors. Silhouette-based approaches have demonstrated that they are able to accurately recover a large range of human motion from multi-view video. However, they fail to make use of all available information, specifically that of texture information. This paper presents an al...

In recent years, the convergence of Computer Vision and Computer Graphics has put forth a new field of research that focuses on the reconstruction of real-world scenes from video streams. To make immersive 3D video reality, not only the acquisition but also the real-time high-quality rendering of a recorded scene from an arbitrary novel viewpoint needs to be possible. In this paper, we describe...
