Abstract:
The contribution presents an approach for motion capturing (MoCap) of dressed
people.
A cloth draping method is embedded in a silhouette based MoCap system and an
error functional is formalized to
minimize image errors with respect to silhouettes, pose and kinematic chain
parameters, the cloth
draping components and external wind forces. We report on various experiments
with two types of clothes, namely
a skirt and a pair of shorts. Finally we compare the angles of the MoCap system
with
results from a commercially available marker based tracking system. The
experiments show, that we are
basically within the error range of marker based tracking systems, though body
parts are occluded with cloth.
