Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a model for an animation library, the method comprising: producing a first plurality of polygon meshes from a first plurality of images depicting positional changes of a surface feature of a first object in the plurality of images as captured during a first motion capture session, the first plurality of polygon meshes including a polygon mesh representing a location of the surface feature for each image in the first plurality of images; decomposing the first plurality of polygon meshes to produce a first motion model that may be used to substantially reconstruct representations present in the first plurality of images; producing a second plurality of polygon meshes from a second plurality of images depicting positional changes of the surface feature as captured during a second motion capture session different than the first motion capture session, wherein the second plurality of images are optical images captured from one or more cameras, the second plurality of polygon meshes including a polygon mesh representing a location of the surface feature for each image in the second plurality of images; decomposing the second plurality of polygon meshes; combining the decomposed second plurality of polygon meshes with the first motion model to produce an enhanced motion model; producing an image of the first object from the enhanced motion model.
