Abstract
The present invention relates to computer capture of object motion. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to capturing of facial movement or performance of an actor. Embodiments of the present invention provide a head-mounted camera system that allows the movements of an actor's face to be captured separately from, but simultaneously with, the movements of the actor's body. In many embodiments, multiple cameras are provided mounted on a bracket for placement on the head of an actor. In some embodiments, the cameras record grayscale images of an actor's face, which has been marked with dots of makeup. In many embodiments, the cameras record images of an actor's face from at least two angles.
