Performance Capture:
Creating high-quality and realistic virtual content is nowadays an important task for modern virtual worlds, games, and movies. While it is possible to roughly capture the motion and static shape of performers and scenes, capturing subtle surface motion details and appearance of actors (such as muscle bulging, cloth motion or facial wrinkles) and details of real scenes (such as moving leaves on trees) in uncontrolled environments is still a challenging problem.
The group focus lies in researching novel techniques for capturing and processing highly detailed and accurate models of performers and scenes in motion using optical method. One of the main aspects of this is also to create results that match the high quality standards of production environments. This is only possible by combining approaches from Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Geometric Modeling.
