We present a fully-automated method for real-time and marker-free 3D human motion capture. The system computes the 3D shape of the person filmed from a synchronized camera set. We obtain a robust and real-time system by using both a fast 3D shape analysis and a skin segmentation algorithm for human tracking. A skeleton-based approach facilitates the shape analysis. We are able to track fast and complex human motion in very difficult cases, like self-occlusion. Results on long video sequences with rapid and complex movements, demonstrate our approach robustness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
