Abstract
The model of the present invention incorporates incompressibility constraints to infer 3-D motion. Discrete, projected 2-D motion information from two different views of an object are input into the system. A model is realized via the tessellation component, and the material property of incompressibility is imposed on model movement. The output of the system is a continuous 3-D motion model which has interpolated the projected 2-D data.
