| ABSTRACT |
| A technique is described for producing a virtual object with realistic motion. A 3-D human motion model is obtained by applying a developed motion capturing technique to a real human in motion. Factorization method is a technique for recovering 3-D shape of a rigid object from a single video image stream without using camera parameters. The technique is extended for recovering 3-D human motions. The proposed system is composed of three fixed cameras that take video images of a human motion. Three obtained image sequences are analyzed to yield measurement matrices at individual sampling times, and they are merged into a single measurement matrix to which the factorization is applied and the 3-D human motion is recovered at a time. A computer graphics software, 3D Studio MAX from Auto Desk Co., LTD., is also used for producing a virtual object with realistic motion. Three-dimensional positions of a human motion, measured by the motion capture are employed in a human model that is made by the CG software with some adjustment. Finally the virtual model exhibits realistic human motion, since real human motion is captured and employed for creating a virtual human model. An experimental result is shown with discussion. |
