Real-Time Motion Capture: An Overview

Abstract

Many emerging motion-related applications, such as virtual reality, decision making, and health monitoring, demand reliability and quick response upon input changes. Motion capture has been a well-researched topic in the past decades with applications in many industries. The ability to capture motion goes hand in hand with real-time capability in a system. This paper gives an overview on real-time motion capture, including frameworks, recording devices, and algorithms. Using real-time motion capture as a tool to solve application problems is also described.
