ABSTRACT
The notion of contextualization has been introduced in an existing motion capture system driven by the segmented silhouettes of a person filmed from several points of view. The principle is to create a dependence of each module of the process (in this case, the different modules are the motion capture itself, the adaptive background modeling and the silhouette segmentation) from the results of the preceding ones. Thus, the influence of these elements, one with the other, guides locally the different computations. So, this optimization increases the reliability of the whole process while decreasing significantly its processing time. Yet it is obvious that this concept can be applied to several aspects of a motion capture system. As a matter of fact, it is possible to contextualize the captured motion, by modeling the context in which it takes place, allowing to make strong assumptions about the following sequence of movements executed by the filmed person. Thus, by recognizing the current and the next gestures of a captured person, the system can adapt its reactions and evolve with the constantly changing comprehension of the context by the player.

A Practical Method for Butterfly Motion Capture
MIG '22: Proceedings of the 15th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion, Interaction and GamesSimulating realistic butterfly motion has been a widely-known challenging problem in computer animation. Arguably, one of its main reasons is the difficulty of acquiring accurate flight motion of butterflies. In this paper we propose a practical yet ...
Using motion capture for interactive motion editing
VRCAI '14: Proceedings of the 13th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in IndustryMotion capture technology has been widely used for creating character motions. Motion editing is usually also required to adjust captured motions. Because character poses which include joint rotations, body positions, and orientations are high-...
Entropy-based motion extraction for motion capture animation: Motion Capture and Retrieval
CASA 2005In this paper, we present a new segmentation solution for extracting motion patterns from motion capture data by searching for critical keyposes in the motion sequence. A rank is established for critical keyposes that identifies the significance of the ...
