High-quality and complete human motion 4D reconstruction is of great significance for immersive VR and even human operation. However, it has inevitable self-scanning constraints, and tracking under monocular settings also has strict restrictions. In this paper, we propose a human motion capture system combined with human priors and performance capture that only uses a single RGB-D sensor. To break the self-scanning constraint, we generated a complete mesh only using the front view input to initialize the geometric capture. In order to construct a correct warping field, most previous methods initialize their systems in a strict way. To maintain high fidelity while increasing the easiness of the system, we updated the model while capturing motion. Additionally, we blended in human priors in order to improve the reliability of model warping. Extensive experiments demonstrated that our method can be used more comfortably while maintaining credible geometric warping and remaining free of self-scanning constraints.

In this paper we present a new approach for marker less human motion capture from conventional camera feeds. The aim of our study is to recover 3D positions of key points of the body that can serve for gait analysis. Our approach is based on foreground extraction, an articulated body model and particle filters. In order to be generic and simple, no restrictive dynamic modeling was used. A new modified particle-filtering algorithm was introduced. It is used efficiently to search the model configurations space. This new algorithm, which we call Interval Particle Filtering, reorganizes the configurations search space in an optimal deterministic way and proved to be efficient in tracking natural human movement. Results for human motion capture from a single camera are presented and compared to results obtained from a marker based system. The system proved to be able to track motion successfully even in partial occlusions and even outdoors.

Motion-capture techniques are rarely based on orientation measurements for two main reasons: (1) optical motion-capture systems are designed for tracking object position rather than their orientation (which can be deduced from several trackers), (2) known animation techniques, like inverse kinematics or geometric algorithms, require position targets constantly, but orientation inputs only occasionally. We propose a complete human motion-capture technique based essentially on orientation measurements. The position measurement is used only for recovering the global position of the performer. This method allows fast tracking of human gestures for interactive applications as well as high rate recording. Several motion-capture optimizations, including the multijoint technique, improve the posture realism. This work is well suited for magnetic-based systems that rely more on orientation registration (in our environment) than position measurements that necessitate difficult system calibration.
