Earlier motion-capture research by the Portsmouth scientists established that unsupported female breasts — that is, those not contained within a bra — oscillate as much as eight inches in space when a woman runs, and not just up and down, but also side to side, forward and backward.
Dr. Michael Cohen, a senior researcher at Microsoft who has worked in computer graphics for 20 years, said that motion capture would benefit from the new research.
This paper presents a novel method in the civil engineering context utilising 'free-field' measurement of human bouncing and jumping forces recorded continuously in time using motion capture technology transferred and adapted from biomechanical research.
"Motion capture is good at large motions," he said.
The data were initially recorded for gesture recognition and skill evaluation, but they are also suited for research on synthesis, segmentation, multi-sensor data comparison and fusion, sports science or more general research on human science or motion capture.
This paper thus provides insight into the accuracy of an RGB-D sensor on motion capture in various measures and directions of further research for the improvement of accuracy.
These include: develop a greater range of virtual contexts; use multi-sensory simulation; address perceived differences between virtual and real cars; improve motion capture capabilities; implement networked 3D technology; and use VR for market research.
Preparation for the hackathon included a motion capture session with a Michael Jackson impersonator in Framestore's London office, researching eye scanning and the analysis of irises, and several dives into Framestore's vast archives of 3D models, animations, and footage.
"They invented a category," Michael Pachter, research analyst at Wedbush Securities, said of GoPro's niche in extreme sports motion capture.
Previous research has quantified cervical spine motion with conventional measurement techniques (eg, cadaveric studies, motion capture systems, and fluoroscopy), but these techniques were not designed to accurately measure three-dimensional (3D) dynamic cervical spine motion under in vivo conditions.
In this research, slip model parameters were identified offline using position and velocity information acquired by a motion capture camera.
