Performing motion capture using shutter synchronization of cameras and phosphorescent paint applied to a performer

摘要

Disclosed is a system used for performing motion capture. The system comprises a synchronization signal generator to generate one or more synchronization signals; a light source configured to strobe on and off responsive to a first one of the one or more synchronization signals; and a plurality of cameras having shutters strobed at a uniform strobing rate synchronously with the strobing of the light source to capture images of phosphorescent paint. The light source charges the phosphorescent paint which has been applied to specified regions of a performer's face and/or body for a motion capture session. The cameras' shutters are open when the light source is off and closed when the light source is on. A method of carrying out this motion capture is also disclosed.
