Markerless Kinematic Model and Motion Capture from Volume Sequences
ثبت نشده
چکیده
An approach for model-free markerless motion capture of articulated kinematic structures is presented. This approach is centered our method for generating underlying nonlinear axes (or a skeleton curve) from the volume of an arbitrary rigid-body model. We describe the use of skeleton curves for deriving a kinematic model and motion (in the form of joint angles over time) from a captured volume sequence. Our motion capture method uses a skeleton curve, found in each frame of a volume sequence, to automatically determine kinematic postures. These postures are then aligned to determine a common kinematic model for the volume sequence. The derived kinematic model is then reapplied to each frame in the volume sequence to find the motion suited to this model. We demonstrate our method for several types of motion from synthetically generated volume sequences with arbitrary kinematic topology and human volume sequences captured from a set of multiple calibrated cameras.

Markerless Kinematic Model and Motion Capture from Volume Sequences
We present an approach for model-free markerless motion capture of articulated kinematic structures. This approach is centered on our method for generating underlying nonlinear axes (or a skeleton curve) of a volume of genus zero (i.e., without holes). We describe the use of skeleton curves for deriving a kinematic model and motion (in the form of joint angles over time) from a captured volume ...

An approach for model-free markerless motion capture of humans is presented. This approach is centered on generating underlying nonlinear axes (or a skeleton curve) from a volume of a human subject. Human volumes are captured from multiple calibrated cameras. We describe the use of skeleton curves for determining the kinematic posture of a human captured volume. Our motion capture uses a skelet...
متن کاملMeasuring human movement for biomechanical applications using markerless motion capture
Modern biomechanical and clinical applications require the accurate capture of normal and pathological human movement without the artifacts associated with standard marker-based motion capture techniques such as soft tissue artifacts and the risk of artificial stimulus of taped-on or strapped-on markers. In this study, the need for new markerless human motion capture methods is discussed in vie...
متن کاملComparison of lower limb and trunk kinematics between markerless and marker-based motion capture systems.
Three dimensional (3-D) motion capture systems are used by researchers and clinicians to analyze the kinematics of human movement. Traditional marker based systems are time consuming and limit the size of studies. Markerless 3-D systems are quicker to use but the differences between data captured in each system is unclear. AIM To examine the relationship of kinematic data captured by marker b...
متن کاملTracking Human Motion with Multiple Cameras Using an Articulated Model
This paper presents a markerless motion capture pipeline based on volumetric reconstruction, skeletonization and articulated ICP with hard constraints. The skeletonization produces a set of 3D points roughly distributed around the limbs’ medial axes. Then, the ICP-based algorithm fits an articulated skeletal model (stick figure) of the human body. The algorithm fits each stick to a limb in a hi...
