On Recovering Shape of Non-Rigid Objects Employing a Remote Motion Capture System

Abstract

This paper presents practical application of recovering 3-D shape of non-rigid objects through a remote motion capture system. The system consists of two stages; a transfer stage and a recovery stage. A transfer stage includes two mobile cameras connected with two mobile computers at a remote place and a wireless LAN for capturing as well as transferring human motion images to a recovery stage. A computer placed in a laboratory takes the role of the recovery system to recover and represent the human motion in a 3-D way. Human standing up motion at a remote place is successfully recovered three-dimensionally.
