| Post subject: | How is the dual kinect system doing its magic? |
The main reason I'm using Ipi Mocap studio is to create a 3d animation for my graduation project. I showed my professor some of the test, she was amazed (which was great!). But when she asked me HOW I was capturing the movement with the dual kinect system, I had no idea. What I'd like to know, is, very briefly, what is going on when I'm using the dual kinect kinect? Is it tracking my movements via infrared and the triangulating my position on each frame to create the "bone" system, with one camera compensating the occluded area from the other? Thanks! |

OK, here is a brief description. As you may know, Kinect uses infrared emitter and sensor to get the depth picture of what it sees. You can find some more details on "depth sensing" of Kinect here: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/3852/how-does-the-kinect-device-work What happens in iPi Mocap Studio. After calibration, the relative position of two Kinects is known. Thus, given the actor model's pose the system can compute its depth projection in the view of both Kinects. When tracking, for each frame, the system tries many variations of actor model's pose to find that one, which depth projections in both Kinects fit captured depth data in the best way. |
