Abstract:
We present a system for creating a time coherent animation of dynamic 3D objects from Kinect sensor using 3D features. We record a dynamic object using the Kinect sensor resulting in a sequence of Red, Green, Blue and Depth (RGB-D) frames of that object. We extract 3D features from the depth data and using these features, we estimate the motion of unrelated 3D geometry between two consecutive frames. Extending this motion compensation over the complete sequence, we manage to create a time coherent 3D animation of a dynamic 3D object, which can be used in a number of applications that require smooth temporal data for post capture analysis, e.g., action or object recognition, motion capture, 2D or 3D gesture recognition, motion editing, or non-interactive 3D animation.
