Motion Capture of Kung Fu for 3D Animation and Analysis

Description

In this project, we plan to use the 3D motion capture technology to record someKung Fu moves performed by Kung Fu masters. In particular, we will simultaneouslycapture some Kung Fu fighting actions between two subjects. The captured motiondata will be post-processed to generate 3D animations of the fighting motion whichwill be made suitable for web viewing such that viewers can visualize the fightingmotion in 3D through the web at different angles and in slow motion. Besidesvisualization, based on the captured Kung Fu data, we will develop interactiveapplications that aim to evaluate the skillfulness of a person in performing these KungFu moves.
