HUMAN MOTION BASED ON ACTOR PHYSIQUE USING MOTION CAPTURE

This research is aimed to study the detail
of motion of various subjects with differences in
physical attributes. The research outlines how
different physique produces different behavioural
patterns based upon mass and proportion. This
research considers motion to identify the
differences in each subject s physical attributes.
By sampling various subjects of physical
differences, this research concentrates on acquiring
various motion parameters based on certain
predefined actions and captured data. The experiment
utilises Vicon8i® Optical Motion Capture system to
study the detail of human motion by extracting the
subjects core motions for analysis. In addition,
the research also applies motion editing techniques
by using Motion Builder® to retarget and constrain
the captured data. The outcome of the research
serves as a guideline to understand the basic flow
of motion for looping motions. The research provides
basic data sets based on the sampled subject
variables to be used as a reference and building
block for future research. This research is
especially helpful to researchers and students
venturing into Mocap for animation.

Klappentext
This research is aimed to study the detail of motion of various subjects with differences in physical attributes. The research outlines how different physique produces different behavioural patterns based upon mass and proportion. This research considers 'motion' to identify the differences in each subject's physical attributes. By sampling various subjects of physical differences, this research concentrates on acquiring various motion parameters based on certain predefined actions and captured data. The experiment utilises Vicon8i® Optical Motion Capture system to study the detail of human motion by extracting the subjects' core motions for analysis. In addition, the research also applies motion editing techniques by using Motion Builder® to retarget and constrain the captured data.
