Abstract
An automated method for the generation of (i) human models comprehensive of shape and joint centers information and/or (ii) subject specific models from multiple video streams is provided. To achieve these objectives, a kinematic model is learnt space from a training data set. The training data set includes kinematic models associated with corresponding morphological models. A shape model is identified as well as one or more poses of the subject. The learnt kinematic model space and the identified shape model are combined to generate a full body model of the subject starting from as few as one-static pose. Further, to generate a full body model of an arbitrary human subject, the learnt kinematic model space and the identified shape model are combined using a parameter set. The invention is applicable for fully automatic markerless motion capture and generation of complete human models.
