چکیده

In this paper we present a system for human body model acquisition and tracking of its parameters from voxel data. 3D voxel reconstruction of the body in each frame is computed from silhouettes extracted from multiple cameras. The system performs automatic model acquisition using a template based initialization procedure and a Bayesian network for refinement of body part size estimates. The twist-based human body model leads to a simple formulation of the extended Kalman filter that performs the tracking and with joint angle limits guarantees physically valid posture estimates. Evaluation of the approach was performed on several sequences with different types of motion captured with six cameras.

Acquisition of Articulated Human Body Models Using Multiple Cameras

Motion capture is an important application in different areas such as biomechanics, computer animation, and human-computer interaction. Current motion capture methods typically use human body models in order to guide pose estimation and tracking. We model the human body as a set of tapered super-quadrics connected in an articulated structure and propose an algorithm to automatically estimate th...

Model-based Human Pose Estimation Using Labelled Voxels by ICP

We present a system for markerless motion capture by using labelled voxels which can recover human posture of the subsequent frames robustly and precisely on temporal coherence. The system uses 3D voxel data reconstructed from multiple synchronized video streams as input, and initialize the model posture by segmented silhouette, and then labeling the voxel data of next frame by fitting the huma...

Development of a free anthropomorphic voxel model of human body for wide-band computational electromagnetics dosimetry

To calculate and evaluate wave scattering and penetration of electromagnetic waves in different biological tissues it is necessary to use a realistic model of the human body, with all tissues resolved and separately assigned with appropriate electric/magnetic properties. We report the development of a realistic 3D whole-body human model that has been adapted for simulation in CST software, cont...

Voxel Data Based Marker-less Human Motion Capture Using Geometry Model

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for human posture estimation using geometry model. A volumetric reconstruction of a participant is obtained from multi-camera images. After definition of body model, the geometry model is fitted into the 3D human reconstructed volume. The gray theory, which is applicable to the prediction problem of a time-varying nonlinear system, is utilized to perfo...
