Abstract:
In this paper an approach for motion capture of dressed people is presented. A
cloth draping method is incorporated in a silhouette based motion capture
system. This leads to a simultaneous estimation of pose, joint angles, cloth
draping parameters and wind forces. An error functional is formalized to
minimize the involved parameters simultaneously. This allows for reconstruction
of the underlying kinematic structure, even though it is covered with fabrics.
Finally, a quantitative error analysis is performed. Pose results are compared
with results obtained from a commercially available marker based tracking
system. The deviations have a magnitude of three degrees which indicates a
reasonably stable approach.
