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

The process of translating human motion to a digital model Games Fast Animation Movies Bio Medical Analysis VR

Facial tracking Full body tracking Hand tracking Partial body tracking

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

4:24 impulse cams 20:100 impulse active LEDs Price: $29, to $123, Features: Full body motion tracking (including fingers using gloves)

Accelerometer, optical sensors Gaming system Price: $199 Limitations: Can only track the motion of the hand Only useable with the Wii

Web Cam Price: Cam: $34.99 Play station 3: $ Features: Recognizes hand and body movements Limitations: Officially works only with Sony PS3 Low resolution 640x480

A frame work for human motion capture Color based markers Arbitrary number of 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
