System and method for capturing facial and body motion

摘要

A system and method for capturing motion comprises a motion capture volume adapted to contain at least one actor having body markers defining plural body points and facial markers defining plural facial points. A plurality of motion cameras are arranged around a periphery of the motion capture volume. The motion cameras are arranged such that all laterally exposed surfaces of the actor while in motion within the motion capture volume are within the field of view of at least one of the plurality of the motion cameras at substantially all times. A motion capture processor is coupled to the plurality of motion cameras to produce a digital model reflecting combined body and facial motion of the actor. At least one microphone may be oriented to pick up audio from the motion capture volume.
