PURPOSE: A motion capture system and a method using images are provided to extract motion information of an object from information learned by analyzing the motion of the object using images to apply the motion to a virtual character. CONSTITUTION: A motion capture system using images includes an image capturing means(10) for capturing an image of an object, a digital signal converter(20) for converting the captured image into a digital signal, and a digital signal processor(30) for processing the digital signal to analyze the image so as to recognize a corresponding object from information learned in advance and calculating coordinates of each of parts of the recognized object. The system further has a main controller(50) for extracting motion information of the object from the input image, controlling a series of processes for applying the motion information to a corresponding character, and outputting coordinate information of the recognized object, a character control processor(60) for determining the motion of the character, and a memory(40) for storing the learned information with respect to the object and calculation information used for calculating motion tracking coordinates from the input image. |
