Simi Shape 3D
Overview
Revolutionary markerless motion capture system. Simi Shape 3D allows full-body 3D motion capture and analysis without any markers. Simi Shape captures movement based on silhouettes.
How it Works
- Participant videos are captured by 8 cameras
- Silhouettes are extracted (separation of participant and background)
- Fitting of silhoutettes for virtual 3D-model and person
- Optimal fitting of silhouettes with 3D-model allows extraction of 3D joint positions and joint angles
- The results are 3D joint positions and joint angles (similar to marker-based systems but without using markers)
Features and Benefits
| Feature | Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Integration with Simi Motion | Offers the unique solution for hybrid use of two technologies, marker-based and markerless | |
| Image based tracking without markers | No time loss attaching marker sets, reduction of artefacts caused by misplacing markers |
