Treffer: Real-Time and Markerless 3D Human Motion Capture Using Multiple Views.

We present a fully automated system for real-time markerless 3D human motion capture. Our approach, based on fast algorithms, uses simple techniques and requires low-cost devices. Using input from multiple calibrated webcams, an extended Shape-From-Silhouette algorithm reconstructs the person in real-time. Fast 3D shape and 3D skin parts analysis provide a robust and real-time system for human full-body tracking. Animation skeleton and simple morphological constraints make easier the motion capture process. Thanks to fast and simple algorithms and low-cost cameras, our system is perfectly apt for home entertainment device. Results on real video sequences with complicated motions demonstrate the robustness of the approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
