A general procedure for a motion capture and mimic system has been delineated. Utilizing sensors operated in the magnetic fields, complicated and optimized movements are easily digitized to analyze and repreduce. The system consists of a motion capture module, a motion visualization module, a motion plan module, a motion mimic module, and a GUI module. Design concepts of the system are modular, open, and user friendly to ensure the overall system performance. Custom-built and/or off-the-shelf modules are ease- ly integrated into the system. With modifications, this procedure can be applied for complicated motion controls. This procedure is implemented on tracking a head and balancing a pole. A neural controller based on this control scheme dtilizing human motions can easily evolve from a small amount of learning data.

To solve the pathological problems of the musculoskeletal system based on evidence, a sophisticated analysis of human motion is required. Traditional optical motion capture systems with high validity and reliability have been utilized in clinical practice for a long time. However, expensive equipment and professional technicians are required to construct optical motion capture systems, hence they are used at a limited capacity in clinical settings despite their advantages. The development of information technology has overcome the existing limit and paved the way for constructing a motion capture system that can be operated at a low cost. Recently, with the development of computer vision-based technology and optical markerless tracking technology, webcam-based 3D human motion analysis has become possible, in which the intuitive interface increases the user-friendliness to non-specialists. In addition, unlike conventional optical motion capture, with this approach, it is possible to analyze motions of multiple people at simultaneously. In a non-optical motion capture system, an inertial measurement unit is typically used, which is not significantly different from a conventional optical motion capture system in terms of its validity and reliability. With the development of markerless technology and advent of non-optical motion capture systems, it is a great advantage that human motion analysis is no longer limited to laboratories.

최근 3D 애니메이션 , 영화 특수효과 그리고 게임제작시 모션 캡처 시스템(Motion Capture System)을 통하여 실제 인간의 동작 및 표정을 수치적으로 측정해내어 이를 실제 애니메이션에 직접 사용함으로써 막대한 작업시간 및 인력 드리고 자본을 획기적으로 줄이고 있다. 그러나 기존의 모션 캡처 시스템은 고속 카메라를 이용함으로써 가격이 고가이고 움직임 추적에서도 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반 저가의 카메라와 신경회로망 및 영상처리를 이용하여 얼굴 애니메이션용 모션 캡처 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 경제적이고 효율적인 얼굴 움직임 추적 기법을 제안한다.

The movements of the human body are difficult to capture owing to the complexity of the three-dimensional skeleton model and occlusion problems. In this paper, we propose a motion capture system that tracks dynamic human motions in real time. Without using external markers, the proposed system adopts multiple depth sensors (Microsoft Kinect) to overcome the occlusion and body rotation problems. To combine the joint data retrieved from the multiple sensors, our calibration process samples a point cloud from depth images and unifies the coordinate systems in point clouds into a single coordinate system via the iterative closest point method. Using noisy skeletal data from sensors, a posture reconstruction method is introduced to estimate the optimal joint positions for consistent motion generation. Based on the high tracking accuracy of the proposed system, we demonstrate that our system is applicable to various motion-based training programs in dance and Taekwondo.

모션캡쳐 기술은 빠른 시간에 움직임을 추적하여 컴퓨터에서 이용할 수 있는 데이터로 기록된다. 모션캡쳐로 얻어진 데이터는 동작을 생성하는 데 있어서 손쉽게 제어할 수 있다. 하지만 키넥트 기반으로 추출된 모션캡쳐 데이터는 불안전한 경우가 많다. 또한 기존의 모션캡쳐 시스템을 활용한 얼굴모션 제작과정은 시간 및 경제적 부담으로 인해 많은 어려움을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 키넥트 시스템을 활용하여 얻어진 얼굴 모션캡쳐 데이터에서 부분적 떨림 현상을 일으키는 데이터를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper describes a monocular PSD-based motion capture sensor to employ with commercial video game systems such as Microsoft's XBOX and Sony's Playstation II. The system compact, low-cost, and only requires a one-time calibration at the factory. The system includes a PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) and active infrared (IR) LED markers that are placed on the object to be tracked. The PSD sensor is placed in the focal plane of a wide-angle lens. The micro-controller calculates the 3D position of the markers using only the measured intensity and 2D position on the PSD. A series of experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of our prototype system. From the experimental results we see that the proposed system's compact size, low-cost, ease of installation, and high frame rates are suitable for high speed motion tracking in games.

This paper presents a motion capture based rehabilitation training system for a lower-limb paretic patient. The system evaluates the rehabilitation status of the patient by using the bend posture of the knees and the weight balance of the body. The posture of both legs is captured with a single camera using the planar mirror. The weight distribution is obtained by the Wii Balance Board. Self-occlusion problem in the tracking of the legs is resolved by using k-nearest neighbor based clustering with body symmetry and local-linearity of the posture data. To do this, we present data normalization and its symmetric property in the normalized vector space.

A non-invasive respiratory gated radiotherapy system like those based on external anatomic motion gives better comfortableness to patients than invasive system on treatment. However, higher correlation between the external and internal anatomic motion is required to increase the effectiveness of non-invasive respiratory gated radiotherapy. Both of invasive and non-invasive methods need to track the internal anatomy with the higher precision and rapid response. Especially, the non-invasive method has more difficulty to track the target position successively because of using only image processing. So we developed the system to track the motion for a non-invasive respiratory gated system to accurately find the dynamic position of internal structures such as the diaphragm and tumor. The respiratory organ motion tracking apparatus consists of an image capture board, a fluoroscopy system and a processing computer. After the image board grabs the motion of internal anatomy through the fluoroscopy system, the computer acquires the organ motion tracking data by image processing without any additional physical markers. The patients breathe freely without any forced breath control and coaching, when this experiment was performed. The developed pattern-recognition software could extract the target motion signal in real-time from the acquired fluoroscopic images. The range of mean deviations between the real and acquired target positions was measured for some sample structures in an anatomical model phantom. The mean and max deviation between the real and acquired positions were less than 1mm and 2mm respectively with the standardized movement using a moving stage and an anatomical model phantom. Under the real human body, the mean and maximum distance of the peak to trough was measured 23.5mm and 55.1mm respectively for 13 patients' diaphragm motion. The acquired respiration profile showed that human expiration period was longer than the inspiration period. The above results could be applied to respiratory-gated radiotherapy.

여러 명이 모여서 진행되는 스포츠 활동은 코로나19와 같이 광범위하게 유행하는 전염병이 퍼지는 상황에서는 진행되기 어려우며, 이로 인해 현대인의 신체 활동 부족이 발생한다. 비대면으로 진행되는 운동 콘텐츠들을 이용하면 이런 문제점을 극복할 수 있지만, 대면 운동 시와 같은 세밀한 자세 확인이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 보다 나은 비대면 운동 콘텐츠 운영을 위해서 IT 시스템에서 자세를 감지하고 움직임을 추적하는 모델을 제시한다. 제안하는 움직임 추적 모델은 체육학에서 널리 사용되는 움직임 분석 방법들을 참고하여 신체 모델을 정의하고 이에 따른 자세 및 움직임을 정의한다. 제안한 모델을 사용하면 운동에 쓰이는 움직임을 인식하고 분석할 수 있으며 운동 프로그램에서 특정 움직임의 횟수를 알 수 있고, 운동프로그램 수행 여부 감지도 가능하다. 제안한 모델의 유효성을 확인하기 위해 마커리스 모션 캡쳐 장비인 Azure Kinect DK를 사용하여 움직임 추적, 그리고 운동 프로그램 추적 프로그램을 구현하였다. 제안된 움직임 분석 모델을 개선하고 모션 캡쳐 시스템의 성능을 높인다면 보다 세밀한 움직임 분석이 가능하며, 적용할 수 있는 운동의 종류를 늘릴 수 있다.
