Direct Pattern Tracking On Flexible Geometry
Abstract:
We introduce a robust tracking procedure for a regular pattern marked
on a flexible moving surface such as cloth. A video of an actor
performing a range of motions is processed with our algorithm to yield
a dynamic geometric representation. The system is capable of
maintaining the tracked grid structure for long periods of time
without quality deterioration, and requires minimal user
interaction. It has been tested on videos of an actor dressed in
a specially marked T-shirt and behaves favorably with the presence of
self-occlusions, self-shadowing and folding of the cloth. The focus of
this paper is on single camera video sequence processing, even though
3D shape reconstruction with multiple cameras is the motivating goal.
