PhysCap: Physically Plausible Monocular 3D Motion Capture in Real Time

Understand

Marker-less 3D human motion capture from a single colour camera has seen significant progress.

• However, it is a very challenging and severely ill-posed problem.
• In consequence, even the most accurate state-of-the-art approaches have significant limitations.
• Purely kinematic formulations on the basis of individual joints or skeletons, and the frequent frame-wise reconstruction in state-of-the-art methods greatly limit 3D accuracy and temporal stability compared to multi-view or marker-based motion capture.
