Objective
There are three main objectives in MOCA:
1. to enhance the field of application of optical motion capture
2. to enhance the performances and the realism achieved by motion capture
3. to make motion capture systems more robust and more user-friendly so that a lot of multimedia companies can acquire such a system.
To achieve these objectives, two main approaches are used:
- to enhance the performances of motion capture acquisition:
the capture field will be drastically enlarged by allowing the use of moving cameras which make permanent recalibration in order to know the relative position of all the cameras
special techniques will be used for the capture of some detailed parts of the human body.
- to use human modelling for improving motion capture:
a model of the human body will be used whose complexity will be adapted following some criteria that can change from one pilot to another
this model will give instructions for the positioning of the markers which is still experimental today
the tracking of the markers will be far better by using a mathematical model for predicting the temporal evolution of their position
an anatomic converter will be designed in order to adapt the tracks of the markers to models with different topologies and/or different morphologies (other humans, robots, monsters, ...).
The two technological providers (ACTISYSTEM and EPFL) will perform those developments during the first phase of the project so that a first evaluation of the expected progress will be available very soon.
Afterwards, 3 pilots will be designed, each being part of a commercial product belonging to a major segment of the multimedia market. They will allow the end-users to improve their know-how related to motion capture and to address their respective markets with very high-level products.
The design of the pilots will also allow a very valuable feedback to the technological providers and the project will handle further modifications of the motion capture system during its last months.
