Abstract

The ability to extract human motion data from video is very important in intelligent animation. Videos are abundant in our daily life and the cost to make videos is becoming lower. If the 2D/3D human motion data required for producing animations can be easily and rapidly extracted from existing videos, the cost will be reduced and the efficiency will be improved significantly.
