A Review on Human Motion Capture

Abstract

The evolution in technology leads to current situation of detection and recognition of human movements which is more prevalent due to many applications in various fields. This paper provides with some recent trends in human motion capture (HMC) technology. Animation is a dynamic factor in different fields like entertainment, medicine etc. about which objects or images are manipulated to resemble as running pictures. For the animation process to speed up more, motion capture was invented, a means by which we are able to capture real-time motions and then recorded motion data into a three-dimensional model in virtual environment. Human motion capture is the method of capturing human motion from real life using various sensing objects into the computer. This paper discusses about some human motion capture methods, their processing, tracking and reconstruction of motion. A brief review of literature with different methodologies is provided. Mainly focusing on recent motion capture technologies, the utilization of easier, less time consuming and accurate motion capture methods.
