Realistic Modeling and Animation of Human Body Based on Scanned Data

More Information
  • Published Date: July 14, 2004
  • In this paper we propose a novel method for building animation model of real human body from surface scanned data. The human model is represented by a triangular mesh and described as a layered geometric model. The model consists of two layers: the control skeleton generating body animation from motion capture data, and the simplified surface model providing an efficient representation of the skin surface shape. The skeleton is generated automatically from surface scanned data using the feature extraction, and then a point-to-line mapping is used to map the surface model onto the underlying skeleton. The resulting model enables real-time and smooth animation by manipulation of the skeleton while maintaining the surface detail. Compared with earlier approach, the principal advantages of our approach are the automated generation of body control skeletons from the scanned data for real-time animation, and the automatic mapping and animation of the captured human surface shape. The human model constructed in this work can be used for applications of ergonomic design, garment CAD, real-time simulating humans in virtual reality environment and so on.
