Problem Motion Capture Virtual Me High Level Design Market Survey Time Plan Tools

It is the process of translating human motion to a digital model How?

A frame work for human motion capture Passive color based markers 1-2 cams Detect major limbs motion and orientation Hopefully real time

Virtual Goal A simple game will be used as a demonstration The player will defend his goal from multiple balls Limited translation motion

Image Processing Component Marker Detector History Constraint Model Video Feed Video Feed Marker Tracking Component Camera Interface

Marker Tracking Component 1 Marker Tracking Component 2 Marker Tracking Component k Merging Component Pose Constructor Application

Exoskeleton, joints connected to angular encoder Pros: No interference, No occlusion Real time Large capture range Cons: Freedom of movement is limited Mechanical failures

Magnetic sensors and a constant magnetic field generator Pros: No optical occlusion Sensor orientation is directly given Cons: External interference Small capture range Wiring and batteries

Using markers (reflective or emitting) Uses light intensity to determine marker position Pros: Free movement Capture range Cons: Optical occlusion Extensive pre-processing and post-processing Controlled lighting condition

Using computer vision Detect Humans in the picture Uses techniques to extract motion information from the image Silhouette detection Joint detection
