Real-time Motion Capture System Using One Video Camera Based on Color and Edge Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 this paper uses only one video camera, it takes video images of the upper body of the person, e.g., x, y, z position of the hands, a face rotation, a body rotation, etc., and it employs a very simple motion-tracking method to generate such upper body motion data in real time. This paper mainly describes its aspects as a hand and face motion-capturing device for a standard PC showing its application examples.

Robust Tracking Algorithm Based on Color and Edge Distribution for Real-time Video Based Motion Capture Systems
This paper describes a robust tracking algorithm for real-time, video based motion capture systems. Conventional motion capture systems are unable to capture motion data in real time because they use many video cameras and take a long time to deal with many images. To deal with problem, the authors have proposed in their earlier work [I] a real-time motion capture system using one video camera....
متن کاملAn automated time and hand motion analysis based on planar motion capture extended to a virtual environment
In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a manual process using a capture motion system embedded to a virtual environment. Capture motion system trac...
