Naturalpoint Optitrack Motion Capture with Virtual Camera

2010-03-17T06:15:00.000-07:00

We knew virtual camera systems are starting gain traction, particularly in the world of cinema and within James Cameron's little set of toys, but it's pretty wild to see one in action. NaturalPoint is showing off its OptiTrack motion capture system at GDC, a budget-friendly multi-camera setup (if $6k is your idea of budget-friendly), but it also has a prototype of sorts of its upcoming virtual camera system. The camera's orientation and movement is actually tracked in the same way a motion capture suit is, and if you're in the same tracking space as a motion capture actor you can do "real" camera work with a live 3D rendered preview of the action. The shoulder-mounted camera has controls for virtual tracking and dolly moves, along with zoom, and has zero problem delivering that shaky handheld look that's all the rage in visual effects these days. There's no word on much this will retail for, but despite the fact that we have absolutely zero use for it we totally want one. Check out a video of it in action after the break.

Disney to Shut Down a Motion Capture Studio

2010-03-12T19:12:00.000-08:00

To further cut costs at its movie studio, The Walt Disney Co. said Friday that it will shut a San Francisco-area facility used to capture the performance of Jim Carrey for his digitally animated character, Scrooge, in "A Christmas Carol."

The closure of the facility in Marin County, north of San Francisco, will be completed by January and result in the loss of 450 jobs.

The facility was built by ImageMovers Digital, a company co-founded by "A Christmas Carol" director Robert Zemeckis and partially owned by Disney. Motion-capture technology in that facility was used to make the movie; Carrey wore sensors as he acted out scenes, and the data were used to recreate his character on the screen.

Before it closes, the complex will continue to be used by Zemeckis and his team to complete production of "Mars Needs Moms!," a 3-D movie set for release in March 2011.

CleanCR2 Free Poser Utility

2010-03-12T04:18:00.000-08:00

CleanCR2 is a utility designed to address a couple of chores conforming clothing merchants (and sometimes their customers) have to deal with. When saving clothing CR2 files out of Poser, AutoConforming ERC is broken. Also, cutting, pasting and using various software utilities on a CR2 file will cause the file's indentation to get messy, making it harder to read.

Mauer goes through Motion Capture for video game (AP)

2010-02-03T03:49:00.000-08:00

Winning the AL MVP Award was one thing. Gracing the cover of the video game "MLB 10 The Show" is a whole new experience for Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer. Mauer donned a skintight, high-tech suit dotted with dozens of sensors to have his motions recorded during a session Tuesday at Sony Computer Entertainment America's San Diego Motion Capture Studio.

The sensors were placed on all his flex points so dozens of cameras, shooting at 120 frames per second, could correctly capture his motions.

Mauer says it was weird putting on the tight suit, but otherwise he had a good time.

"It was uncomfortable at first, but as I started doing it more and more, it started feeling more comfortable," he said.

Being on the cover of the game has become a bit of a status symbol.

Others who've done so recently include former MVPs Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies and Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox.

"It's good company that I'm joining. I'm glad to be a part of it," Mauer said.

The game will be released March 2 for PlayStation3, PlayStation2 and PlayStation Portable.

Woolly Mammoth From Content Paradise

The woolly mammoth was the last species of the genus. Most populations of the woolly mammoth in North America and Eurasia died out at the end of the last Ice Age. Until recently, it was generally assumed that the last woolly mammoths vanished from Europe and Southern Siberia about 10,000 BC, but new findings show that some were still present there about 8,000 BC. Only slightly later, the woolly mammoths also disappeared from continental Northern Siberia.Woolly mammoths as well as Columbian mammoths disappeared from the North American continent at the end of the ice age. - wikipedia.org

The Woolly Mammoth comes to life with this exciting set of poses and beautiful prehistoric backgrounds.

These poses employ a unique approach that greatly expands the limits of your Woolly Mammoth's flexibility and allows for a broader range of motion.

NaturalPoint - PhaseSpace - Xsens Mocap System Reports From GDC09

2009-09-06T07:46:00.000-07:00

Hi folks, Bruce from cgspeed.com attended the Game Developer's Conference (GDC'09) in San Francisco and had written an article describing his views on the three well known motion capture sytems(NaturalPoint, PhaseSpace, Xsens ), who displayed their mocap systems there. I found it quite interesting as he described what he saw from live demo and probably its the first time someone has expressed their views on these mocap systems after seeing their products in live. If you are planning to buy a mocap system and you dont have a chance to see a live demo, you will find it useful.

Technology has come a long way. The year is 2159 and we`re proud to announce the newest member of the armed forces. Soldier 001 is a fully autonomous robotic warrior that will take the place of the average grunt in the battle field. What this means is fewer human casualties and more direct and faster responses to military commands and on a 80% mark, a better execution of those orders.

The secondary, but not as popular use, of the Soldier Project, was to allow grunts that were formerly disabled in previous battles, to attach broken limbs to the inside of the Soldier unit and control it as if it were part of their own body. This allows those grunts that wish to enter battle, even against political suggestion to stay out of the fighting, under their own power without hindering or holding back their squad.

Project Soldier has already showed itself to be successful in numerous battle field tests as well as private sector jobs such as hazmat control units and police emergency riot squads. Nothing controls a crowd faster than an unstoppable 8ft machine carrying a plasma rifle.

So get your Soldier today, governments of the world! Soon the cost of production for Project Soldier will be cheap enough that the home user will be able to purchase one for home protection purposes!

Review By: Russell_DC
Although I choked a bit at the price, I have to admit that this really an exquisite model and well worth it. I'm a huge robot/mech/cyborg fan and this is one of the most complex and detailed ones I've ever found anywhere online. I've been playing around doing renders with it in Poser 6 and Carrara 6 on a Mac compouter and it has performed flawlessly. I opened this up on my 8 year old 800mz Mac desktop as well as my newer and faster laptop. Because the model is so highly detailed, it was a little pokey on my older computer in Carrara but it plays really well with Poser on both my older and my new computer.

The textures included with this model are phenomenal but if I had to pick one nit with this item it would be that the orange mat shown in the main photo looks like more of a delicate peach (not exactly my first choice for a killer robot) color to my eyes. But that's a really minor "flaw" and I'm sure it should be fairly easy for me to doctor it to a shade of orange more to my liking. Thanks for this terrific model, VP. You rock. ;-P

Mocap Suit from Xsens Technologies

2009-08-05T06:49:00.000-07:00

Motion capture is one of the technologies that Hollywood and game publishers can’t live without. It’s an expensive process that captures the motion of human actors and translates it into digital form so that artists can create more realistic animations of humans on the move.

Xsens Technologies says it can make motion capture much easier and more accurate with its Xsens MVN, a body suit with dozens of sensors that trace movements with extreme precision. Today, the Enschede, Netherlands-based company is announcing that it has signed up some prominent customers for its motion capture technology. One new customer is Double Negative Visual Effects, which created the special effects in Angels & Demons and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Double Negative will use the new motion capture system in future films. The company didn’t say which films, but Double Negative is working on films including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Iron Man 2, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

The Xsens MVN body suit contains 90 Analog Devices sensors. That includes 17 accelerometers and gyroscopes. Both sense motion so that the suit can capture 360 degrees of body movement. It’s necessary to capture that much data because animations are becoming more and more realistic. With so many more pieces of data, the motion capture system no longer needs to use special cameras, said Hein Beute, product manager at Xsens.

That cuts down on the costs of doing motion capture. Moreover, now the work doesn’t have to be done in a motion capture studio. Casper Peeters, chief executive of Xsens, said the motion capture system can now be moved anywhere the movie set is located, as the sensor data is transmitted to a laptop.

The systems still costs tens of thousands of dollars and thus can’t be used in dirt-cheap films. But they are a good example of the spread of cheap sensors. The accelerometers cost $1 to $2 each now, far cheaper than other kinds of sensors, while the gyroscopes are $3 to $4. Thanks to the use of accelerometers in the Nintendo Wii game controller, there has been a grand awakening as to the power of motion sensors, says Howard Wisnioski, an Analog Devices spokesman. The accelerometers are a 20-year-old technology and are part of the micro-electro mechanical semiconductor (MEMS) business that represent one of Analog Devices’ fastest growing businesses.

Chris Edwards, chief executive of visualization studio Third Floor Studios, said the Xsens MVN technology is particularly useful in previsualization, or the stage of production when directors are trying to set up a scene.

Aside from movie makers, game companies have also used the technology. Guerilla Games used an early version of the suit to capture lifelike movements for the Killzone 2 game, one of the most realistic titles for the PlayStation 3. Sony Pictures Imageworks and Insomniac Games are using Xsens MVN in upcoming works.

Xsens, which is displaying its wares at the SIGGRAPH conference in New Orleans, also said it has launched a partnership with Time Domain Corp., a wireless technology company. In that alliance, the companies can blend their technologies to get precise locations of actors and other objects on the set.

This stuff seems interesting enough for professional special effects people. But one of these days, all of us will have these body suits so that we can play video games in real time, translating our whole body movements into games. Companies like Microsoft and Sony are already working on that technology. But it will be interesting to see if Xsens technology could become useful in consumer markets down the road.

Mixamo Offers Online Mocap Animation Service

2009-08-04T09:15:00.000-07:00

Creating professional-quality 3D animation can result in immense production time and cost for game developers. Mixamo Inc. offers a groundbreaking alternative to traditional animation methods with its launch of the first online animation service that allows users to create and customize high-quality 3D character animations in seconds rather than days.

"Our vision is to simplify 3D character animation into a process that is easy and affordable enough for any professional game developer, filmmaker, architect, or 3D designer to use efficiently," says Stefano Corazza, co-founder and CTO of Mixamo. "Mixamo drastically condenses the animation process by combining the realism of motion capture with the customization options offered by keyframing. This creates an entirely new approach that enables professionals to develop production-ready character animations quickly. Over time, our goal is to continue to refine this process and extend this service to an even wider market."

Mixamo allows highly complex customization of animations through the simple use of slider-based controls. From the intuitive interface, animators can easily browse through Mixamo's extensive collection of high-quality 3D character motions. Developed from actual motion capture data, the Mixamo motion collection consists of clean, natural 3D character motions such as: combat motions, sports motions and dancing motions. After selecting a desired animation, users may customize and apply directly to their character rig in real-time. Upon completion, the animation is downloaded for seamless integration into any 3D application or game development pipeline.

Mixamo offers game developers a fast, easy-to-use, 24/7 online animation solution that is fully compatible with all professional animation pipelines. The foundation of Mixamo's technology is the ability to synthesize motions from mathematical models, which are learned by analyzing high-quality motion capture data. These motion models provide high-level controls to the user for creating compelling animations quickly and conveniently -- for example, a punch can be modified with a shorter windup or different angles of attack.

By alleviating the need for expensive motion capture services and substantially reducing keyframe animation production time, Mixamo is able to significantly boost workflow pace and speed. After animations are created and customized within Mixamo's online environment, they may be applied directly to a user's uploaded skeleton creating a production-ready character motion. Artists who are accustomed to traditional methods are finding Mixamo's rapid development process to be a fast and liberating experience.

Mixamo is being used by top-talent 3D game developers, including Cameron Petty, former co-founder and CEO of Cryptic Studios, on an exciting new stealth project. "The Mixamo service is a key component of our rapid prototyping capabilities, allowing us to develop character animations with our existing skeletons in a fraction of the time it normally takes," says Petty, currently CEO and founder of JumpCore. "We're using Mixamo to save time and money, and the integration of Mixamo motion data into our production pipeline has been smooth. Even better, the folks at Mixamo have been responsive and helpful throughout the process."

The company says that its motion capture data is based on mathematical models, allowing users to control the angles and durations of various movements.

Most Mixamo animations can be downloaded in perfect loops, ready for in-game content, or combined into longer sequences for general use or in cut scenes. Downloaded motion files are available in FBX, bvh and Collada formats. For Mixamo pricing information and to view, customize and purchase motions, please visit www.mixamo.com.

Ecstasy - Dynamic Motion Synthesis for the Masses

2009-08-01T08:33:00.000-07:00

Independent software developer, BrokeAss Games, has announced the release of their new physics/animation toolset, called Ecstasy Motion. Strategically positioned to release the most affordable Dynamic Motion Synthesis solution on the market, the developers will be presenting their software at SIGGRAPH 2009, the annual Graphics and Interactive Techniques conference next week in New Orleans.

Ecstasy blends animated sequences with ragdoll physics and other motor force implementations. The program, set for official release in December 2009, already includes many of the same features seen in top-shelf physics/animation packages, such as batch retargeting and editing, multiple actor support, scriptable events, and a genetic algorithm system that can organically create motion data. Ecstasy also includes features never before seen in a DMS application, such as live motion streaming support, real-time interactive force effects, and native integration into a 3D game environment.

BrokeAss Games has teamed up with NaturalPoint, the makers of Optitrack, a consumer-priced, motion capture system to ensure that Ecstasy supports live motion streaming into a 3D game environment. This led to a new combination of interactive physics and live motion streaming that will be demonstrated in the NaturalPoint/Optitrack booth this year at SIGGRAPH. "The Ecstasy product, for us, plugs a critical hole in the content development pipeline and we're excited to see where they take this technology," says Morgan Jones of NaturalPoint.

Ecstasy was originally designed with video game animators in mind. BrokeAss Games chose Torque3D, by Garage Games, as the development platform for Ecstasy. "Torque3D will basically work with any of the major art tools that are popular in games," according to Brett Seyler of Garage Games. Ecstasy Motion takes full advantage of this flexibility, supporting multiple file formats for easy integration into Poser and 3DStudioMax pipelines. By release, Ecstasy will support BVH, FBX, and COLLADA.

"A variety of rendering effects are available to create scenes containing virtual actors, 3D landscapes, dynamic lighting and weather, as well as structures and ambient props. Ecstasy's real-time rendering system is ideal for digital storyboards or projects targeted at web-distribution," says lead developer, Chris Calef. Ecstasy features chroma key ready outputs which can be easily incorporated into animated film projects without post production.

With independent game developers and animated film makers targeted as the primary user base, Ecstasy promises to deliver high-end functionality at an incredibly low price.

Free VNS & BVH files for iclone & Poser / Daz from neweventsonline.com

2009-07-16T08:49:00.000-07:00

neweventsonline.com is providing free converted motion capture from mocapdata.com, CMU & Animazoo.com to use with iclone, Poser/Daz. Its newly launched and it will be updated with more motions for purchasing.

Read the below post by neweventsonline.com in forum.reallusion.com to know more

Hello to everyone. We would like to invite you to come take a preview of www.NewEventsOnline.com.

We are in the process of posting hundreds, and eventually thousands, of FREE bvh files for Poser/DAZ and vns files for iClone. Although the site is not "officially open," we would sure appreciate your input. There are a few things we need to learn early on: Are the files working for you? Are there specific motions you would like to see? Are there broken links? That sort of thing. We also need to learn if our site will stand up to all the download activity we expect to see, so don't be hesitant in taking whatever you think you will need in the future.

Our "contact us" button is only listed on the home page for now, so here's the direct link for your convenience: http://www.neweventsonline.com/securimage/contact_us.html

Please be patient, understanding that we will not be able to respond to your posts at this time, but we would still appreciate your patient input. All of our time is being concentrated on converting or creating files to/for vns for the iClone community, and it is a very time consuming process. We have a big goal, and it is going to take a little time to "get there." Since several people are already working on CMU files, we have started with animazoo and mocap data.com and our own private stock of motion files. (Take a look at the "Gestures" folder in the mocapdata.com section. They're great!) Eventually, the site will also contain the CMU files, so you will be able to find most anything you are looking for in one location.

An extra-nifty feature is that preview files are available for all files. You will be able to see the file in action before downloading.

FYI, the bvh files that are posted for mocapdata.com are not the original files. They are translated bvh files we have created as part of our conversion process. We do not profess to be iClone "pros," but they are working really well for our productions and we are hoping they will suit your needs for your videos too. Nonetheless, everyone's needs for their particular video are a little different, so obviously a little tweaking will need to be done to make them fit your needs. For example, most of the files, at least the mocapdata files, start and end in a T-pose. They can be easily modified by opening up a timeline and right-clicking on the motion file (Perform button) where you want the motion to start and end and clicking "break." This breaks the motion file into segments. Then you just delete the start and end portions that you do not want to use and slide the remaining portion to where you want the action to take place.

We are also planning on posting video overlay files in QuickTime format (with alpha transparency) that can be added to your iClone movie in a linear video editor to add explosions, laser beams, portal effects - that sort of thing - and we would like to know if you would consider such files to be of use to you.

We're not at all sure how this is all going to work out, but with your friendly feedback early on, it will help us anticipate our needs and adapt accordingly. Thanks for your time!

Quantic Dream selling motion capture libraries

2009-06-19T23:41:00.000-07:00

One look at Heavy Rain, and you'll know it was an expensive, expensive game to make. Looks like Quantic Dream is already thinking up new ways of recovering the costs of the enormous project. The developer of the upcoming PS3-exclusive adventure game is selling its motion capture data in library packages. The offering will be what Quantic Dream calls "the industry's first high-end, off-the-shelf solution for real-time 3D character animation," according to a report by Develop.

Considering the developer spent nearly a year doing motion capture work on Heavy Rain, it's no wonder why the developers are touting their work.

Cheap Motion Capture System with Free Software

2009-06-03T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hey guys i found an interesting project on developing cheap motion capture system which includes free motion capture software. You can setup your own motion capture system for a cheap price using this open source software.

motion.capture.free.fr website is dedicated to the Cheap Mocap Project. The goal of this project was to perform a fully functional motion capture, using 'cheap' webcams.

You can see a step-by-step explanation of the methods used, and see how the project got organized.

The Project

Begining of the project : May, 21 2007
WEEK 1.

At the beginning of the first week , we didn't know what libraries / tools to use and we had big gaps in our knowledge of 3D geometry and stereo reconstruction. We read the very well made course of Peter Sturm on Computer Vision, and we got acknowledged with Visual C++ and OpenCV. Starting from nothing, except examples from the internet, one of the hard part was to organize our software and his development. We began to create the software backbone : classes and methods.

We thought we could make our self calibration tool, using the OpenCV methods (there is a method that detects corners on a chessboard, which can be very useful for calibration). But this is a long process and we wanted to spend most of your time on the Motion Capture itself, so we decided to use MatLab to calibrate our cams. That's why we built a function able to import the result from a MatLab file into our software.

During several days we conducted experiments and tests on the way we could control the video stream of our webcams, from our laptops. We tried to code a simple soft which could open the configuration pannel of the webcams, and take shots. We used that to take shots of a calibration pattern which was a chessboard.

On the other side, we began to ponder about image processing algorithms which would be able to detect white spots on a low quality picture. Algorithms and methods are detailed on the image processing page.

Originally we didn't know if we would be able to build a real-time software, that's why we tried to assess the bandwidth of the USB ports, and the capacity of our laptops. The results were disapointing : to get a real-time stream we had to plug one cam per USB controller, that is to say two cams maximum per laptop. What's more, we had a poor framerate using the OpenCV capture methodes, and given that the image processing algorithms require a lot of time to compute a picture, we concluded that real-time capture was impossible on a single computer.

Luckily we found another way to capture the video stream : it's called CvCam and it's part of OpenCV. We also tried to spread the load over several computers.

Thus, we came to network. With a cam per client laptop -the eyes-, and a server -the brain-, we were able to get all the pictures we needed within 33 ms ( the max cam frequence was 30 FPS). The clients, after being connected to the server, wait for a capture request, then take a shot, find the white spots, and send the coordinates of these spots to the server. Network also allows the synchronisation of the captures. More details on the network page.

After a setup of the network, we conducted some tests on its speed and its bandwidth capacities. Given that only few data transit on it, we were finally ready for the real-time capture.

WEEK 2.

The first thing that we needed now was the possibilty to test what we had done. We added the OpenGL rendering thread, server side, to visualize the scene (only the cameras at the moment).

We tried differents methods to process the images, we took shots of black suited models, wearing white spots. And we tested our algorithms. Actually the best way to process the images was to set the parameters at the launching of the soft : we gave up the fully automatic configuration : the webcams are differents, the luminosity changes ...

Due to OpenCV -CvCam- bugs, we separated the soft into two parts : calibration part, and capture part. Why? because we need a first thread to run the network engine, and another to get the video stream, and yet the CvCam methods that we invoke to start the capture creates its own thread, and we cannot put it in another thread. The solution we found : we start the network in the main thread, then we start the capture, that creates its own thread but we cannot control it (stop it) anymore without exiting the program. Because we need a pause between calibration and capture, we decided to split it in two parts.

Another main issue was the initialisation of the scene. We need to track the white spots and we need to identify then, because the server receive only non identified 2D coordinates, and therefore needs a startpoint to track each spot. Our idea was to introduce an initialisation part, in which the model spreads his arms, and stay still. Then we click on the spots, in a predefined order, on each clients. We have set a little tracking system to keep the spots identified by the client. We the server send the capture start request, every client sends the ordered data, the initialisation sequence is over.

We began the 3D reconstruction by coding the methods able to reproject a 3D points on a 2D cam picture, and to reconstruct a 3D points from several (minimum 2) shots from differents cams. We implemented a set of mathematical tools to work on matrices and vectors.

WEEK 3.

A lot of tests and debugging are done to get a working program. We recalculate the calibration data : MatLab returns actually coordinates of the chessboard in the camera system; we thought that was the camera coordinates in the chessboard system. After a day of brain-breaking reflexions about coordinate system changes, we manage to have a very well position and orientation of the cameras.

We tried our system without tracking with only 1 ball and it seems to work fine, the moves of the model in black are well represented in the openGL scene. We had to deal with a difference between OpenGL and OpenCV : they take the pixel 0,0 in the top right corner for OpenCV so the Y-axis is descending. but in openGL it is ascending. Now everything is allright !

We work now on the 3D tracking, using epipolar lines, in order to use our system with several balls.

WEEK 4.

We have done several versions of the tracking system : the first using the epipolar constraint to evaluate wether 2 rays intersect, and the other use the actual distances between the rays.

We have conducted some experiments, using 2, 3 and 4 cams, with 1 to 5 balls. That worked fine with 2 cams, but this is not efficient if we have to deal with occlusions. With more than 2 cams, the number of "ghost" spots increase dramatically, because there are many rays which intersect even if there is no spot, so the motion is not smooth : the tracking system sees a lot of balls and has to choose some of them to match the spots in the former position. Thus this seems to be unstable, and we try now to find a way to improve that.

SUMMARY :

What actually works :

We have a whole system who works fine with 2 cams, that is to say : the network, the calibration, the image processing, the 3D reconstruction, the tracking and the visualization.

What problem we have encoutered :

Network :

Weird behavior of VC++ with the network in debug mode : the accept() method doesn't work in debug mode and we had some problems with that in release, depending on the nature (local or global) of some variables, for instance our Scene which sometimes spawned a crash of the network ...
The Keyboard management that we tried to include in the select() method, using the STDIN stream, actually doesn't work on windows.

Cameras :

The USB bandwidth is two weak to use several cams at the same time.
The HighGui capture methods provide a too low fps so we needed to use CvCam.

Calibration :

We still need to use MatLab for the calibration, we have chosen to focus on the motion capture itself, but there are some tools in openCV to do your own calibration in a further development.
We had also a problem with the matrices returned by MatLab because we misunderstood their meaning.

3D Reconstruction & Tracking :

We have some problems when we use 3 cams or more, due to the unstability of the geometry that we use, as explained previously.

Image Processing :

The equalization of the pictures histogram didn't work well enough so we switched to a manual configuration.

Capture :

We hardly managed to control the CvCam capture thread .. The exit of the program is quite "dirty" due to that.

During the filming :

We had some light issues because of the "cheap" aspect of the project, we had to use the sunlight because the light system of the black room where we worked was coming from lthe ceiling and that spawned unconvenient shadows.

CONCLUSION

During this month we had to build a whole system from scratch, including all the aspects that we had to deal with, and that you can view details on this website. We also built our own algorithms for every phase of the process. We wanted to do a cheap mocap system, therefore unstable when using a lot of camera, due to the sum of the errors and imperfection of our cameras which are cheap webcams.
Nevertheless the system is quite sastisfying with a few cams, and considering that we had only 1 month to do all the work needed.

Instructions

What equipment you need:

To perform a motion capture with our software you need :

- at least 2 webcams (Res. 640*480, 30fps)

- a computer (or more, prefer RJ45 and switch for several computers, we need a low ping for real time)

- a total black outfit (trousers, sweat, hood)

- white ping pong balls or something comparable.

- a black room or large pieces of dark tissue

- printing of a chessboard

Equipment setup:

Your cams must see only the dark part of the room. Try not to place them at the same height and orient them differently.

For the light, we used softened light (from the cloudy sky). Avoid direct light like spots or neons. Try to have homogeneous light.
Software handling:

First of all you need to register the proxytrans.ax file by typing in a console : regsvr32 proxytrans.ax in the directory of this file.

There are 2 phasis : Calibration and Motion Capture itself.

Calibration:

Launch CalibrServer on the server computer, and CalibrClient on the others. Then folow the instructions of calibration.

Once this step done, DON'T MOVE THE CAMS (or you'll have to re-calibrate).
Motion Capture:

Launch CheapMocapServer and a CheapMocapClient per cam (prefer copying the executable and calibration files in separate folder on one computer if it uses more than 1 cam) on concerned computers. Start to ask for the calibration settings with "C". You should see an OpenGL window appear. You already can move in the scene with arrow keys and the mouse.

On server, then launch camera initialisation with "I". On Clients, setup the cams and stop all automaticall stuff. Set fps to 30. Close the 2 settings windows.

Now, it's time for clients to set the threshold and errosion values. Use the cursors to do so. You need to see only the white spots corresponding to the balls (any other white pixel would disturb all the computing).

Final part for the client : spots initialisation. On the real image, click on each ball you see (in the same order if possible) and hit "Enter". When all clients are done, hit "S" on server to start capturing. And now you can see the balls moving in the openGL window.

Ideas

Our system is not perfect and still can be improved :

Network :

We developped the network system in C in the main functions of our softwares, but that can be improved by considering the network engine as objects. We wanted to minimize the number of threads, but actually this can be more "clean" to put all this part in one thread apart, and using classes and methods to handle that.

Calibration :

As we said previously, the calibration is done with MatLab but openCV provides several methods to facilitate the calibration, such as cvFindChessboardCorners() and cvCalibrateCamera().
With a greater control of the openCV and CvCam threads, we coul have managed to build a single soft which deals with each phase of the motion capture, including the calibration process.

Image Processing :

One improvment on this section is to optimize the algorithms used by, for instance, processing only parts of the images, and not the whole image, to detect the spots. We can also work on the size of the spots given the distance that separate the cameras from the actor.

Tracking :

The greatest amount of improvment can be done in this part. We built our own tracking algorithms but there certainly is better algorithms to do that job, in a different way, for instance the Lucas Kanade method. We chose the 3D tracking, but the 2D tracking may be efficient and lighter.
We can also use the Wiimote to tighten the zone where we search the 3D spots.

Export :

One improvment to use our system with extern animation software is the exportation of the data computed, in a format that could be used by Maya for example.

UI :

Our software run in console mode and is not user friendly, so a graphical UI could make it more attractive and simpler, using QT for instance.

Motion Capture Technology

2009-05-30T11:10:00.001-07:00

Motion Capture Technology

I. History of motion capture:

The use of motion capture to animate characters on computers is relatively recent, it started in the 1970s, and now just beginning to spread.

Motion capture (collection of movement) is recording the movements of the human body (or any other movement) for immediate analysis or decals.

The captured information can be as simple as catching body position in space or as complex as a capture of the face and the deformation of the muscles. The captured motion can be exported to various forms like bvh, bip, fbx etc., which can be used to animate 3d characters in 3ds max, maya, poser, iclone, blender etc., You can download free motion capture data from this blog.

Motion capture for animation is the superposition of human movement on their virtual identities.

This capture can be direct, such as the animation arm of a virtual function of movement of an arm, or indirect, such as that of a human hand with a more thorough as the effect of light or color.

The idea of copying human motion is of course not new.

To make the most convincing human movement, in "Snow White", Disney studios desine animation film on a film, play or real players. This method called "rotoscoping" has been used successfully since then.

In 1970, when he began to be possible to animate characters by computer, Animationer have adapted traditional techniques, including the "rotoscoping".

Today, technology is catching is good and diverse, we can classify them into three broad categories:

Mechanical motion capture
The optical motion capture
The magnetic motion capture

Now although this technique is effective, it still contains some problems (weight, cost, ...). But against any doubt that the motion capture will become one of the basic tools of animation.

II. The different types of motion capture:

1. Mechanical Motion capture:

Abstract:

This technique of motion capture is achieved through the use of an exoskeleton. Each joint is then connected to an angular encoder. The value of movement of each encoder (rotation etc. ..) is recorded by a computer that by knowing the relative position encoders (and therefore joints) can rebuild these movements on the screen using software. An offset is applied to each encoder, because it is very difficult to match exactly their position with that of the real relationship (and especially in the case of human movements).

Advantages and disadvantages:

This technique offers high precision and it has the advantage of not being influenced by external factors (such as quality or the number of cameras for optical mocap).

But the catch is limited by mechanical constraints related to the implementation of the encoders and the exoskeleton .. It should be noted that the exoskeleton generally use wired connections to connect the encoders to the computer. For example, there is much more difficult to move with a fairly heavy exoskeleton and connected to a large number of simple son with small reflective spheres: the freedom of movement is rather limited.

The accuracy of reproduction of the movement depends on the position encoders and modeling of the skeleton. It must match the size of the exoskeleton at each morphology. The big disadvantage comes from the coders themselves because if they are of great precision between them it can not move the object to capture in a so true. In effect, then use the methods of optical positioning to place the animation in a decor. Finally, each object to animate to need an exoskeleton over it is quite complicated to measure the interaction of several exoskeleton. Thereby bringing about a scene involving several people will be very difficult to implement.

2. The magnetic motion capture:

Magnetic motion capture is done through a field of electro-Magenta is introduced in which sensors are coils of sensors electriques.Les son are represented on a placemark in 3 axes x, y, z.
To determine their position on the capture field disturbance created by a son through an antenna, then we can know its orientation.

The advantage of this method is that data captured is accurate and no further calculations, excluding from the calculation of position, is useful in handling. But any metal object disturbs the magnetic field and distorts the data.
The magnetic capture

3. Optical Motion Capture:

The capture is based on optical shooting several synchronized cameras, the synthesis of coordinates (x, y) of the same object from different angles, allows to deduce the coordinates (x, y, z). This method involves the consideration of complex problems such as optical parallax, distortion lens used, etc.. The signal thus undergoes many interpolations. However, a correct calibration of these parameters allows a high accuracy of data collected.

The operating principle is similar to radar: the cameras emit radiation (usually red and / or infrared), reflected by the markers (whose surface is composed of ultra-reflecting material) and then returned to the same cameras. These are sensitive to one type of wavelength and viewing the markers in the form of white spots videos (or grayscale for the latest cameras). Checking the information of each camera (2 cameras therefore minimum) to determine the position of the marker in the virtual space.

III. Conclusion:

Although the motion capture requires some technical means, we can quite get what to do it yourself at home in a reasonable cost that can make your own short film.

Motion capture is a major step forward in the field of cinema as you can reprocess the image in a more simple, in fact, it is easier to modify an image captured a classic scene, all although this is too expensive.

But it is also a major asset in medicine, for example, it can be used to measure the benefit of a transaction via a recording of the movement of the patient before and after the operation (such as in the case of the application a prosthesis, or simply at a medical classic (in the future perhaps).

Spielberg's 3D Motion Capture Film "Tintin" will come in autumn 2011

2009-05-30T09:20:00.000-07:00

Los Angeles (USA), 28 may (EFE) .- The film "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn," by director Steven Spielberg, which is a 3d animated film using motion capture technology will be released internationally in late October and in December 2011 in the United States, reported today the magazine Variety.

The film began to occur in January with motion capture technology in the style of "Beowulf" (2007) and "A Christmas Carol," which will debut this Christmas and will be released in three dimensions.

The film will be the first in a series of stories about the cartoon character created by Georges Remi, which will have at least one sequel to the film directed by Peter Jackson, head of the saga "The Lord of the Rings. "

Paramount and Sony decided to give priority to the Premiere of "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" outside the U.S., where the adventures of this period of comics have more potential to be a box office in a popular comic book translated into 70 languages.

The movie will come to the notice boards in Europe, Asia and Latin America in late October or early November 2011 the United States since December 23 of that year.

Britain's Jamie Bell ( "Billy Elliot", 2000) will play Tintin in a division that will include Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook.
