CAPTURING 3D RIGID MOTION • Feature points are extracted and tracked across sequences • Based on parallax and rigidity (epipolar geometry), the algorithm extracts: • Camera path and parameters (zoom, distortion) over time • 3D point coordinates • Ready for 2D/3D video-montage… all in one click!

MOTION CAPTURE Motion Capture
VIDEO-BASED MOCAP Capture non-rigid 3D motion from several videos
VIDEO-BASED MOCAP Video-based motion capture solution Applications: animation, bio-medical, ergonomy…etc Covering facial, full body, and on-set mocap Total flexibility • From 2 cameras to as many as needed • Cameras can fixed or moving. • Cameras can be of different frame rate and different definitions. • No need for a motion capture studio Computed data • Tracked 3D points • Camera data
MATCHMOVING FROM RIGID MOTION… One moving camera observing a rigid scene : Parallax (i.e relative 2D image motion) allows recovering 3D camera motion and scene structure N 1 ..t..
Time 1 Cam3 Cam1 Cam2 Time N Cam1 Cam3 Cam2 • Bonus: We can handle camera motion as well! … TO NON-RIGID MOTION • Several synchronous cameras are used • Same geometric problem as matchmoving at each time
VIDEO-BASED MOCAP …Result
ON-SET MOCAP • All sequences shot with • - 2 fixed cameras: HD digital (1920x1080) • 1 mobile camera (the main shooting cam): film, scanned at 2048x1536 …Result
