# EasyMocap
**EasyMocap** is an open-source toolbox for **markerless human motion capture** from RGB videos. In this project, we provide a lot of motion capture demos in different settings.

## Core features
### Multiple views of a single person
[](./doc/quickstart.md) [](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Cyvu_lPFUajr2RKt6yJIfS3HQIIYl6QU?usp=sharing)
This is the basic code for fitting SMPL[1]/SMPL+H[2]/SMPL-X[3]/MANO[2] model to capture body+hand+face poses from multiple views.
Videos are from ZJU-MoCap, with 23 calibrated and synchronized cameras.
Captured with 8 cameras.
### Internet video with a mirror
[](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.00340.pdf) [](https://github.com/zju3dv/Mirrored-Human)
Captured with 6 cameras and a mirror
### Multiple Internet videos with a specific action (Coming soon)
[](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.07931.pdf) [](./doc/todo.md)
Internet videos of Roger Federer's serving
### Multiple views of multiple people
[](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.04111.pdf) [](./doc/mvmp.md)
Captured with 8 consumer cameras
### Novel view synthesis from sparse views
[](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.15838.pdf) [](https://github.com/zju3dv/neuralbody)
Captured with 8 consumer cameras
Novel view synthesis for chanllenge motion(coming soon)
## ZJU-MoCap
With our proposed method, we release two large dataset of human motion: LightStage and Mirrored-Human. See the [website](https://chingswy.github.io/Dataset-Demo/) for more details.
LightStage: captured with LightStage system
Mirrored-Human: collected from the Internet
## Other features
### 3D Realtime visualization
[](./doc/realtime_visualization.md)
### [Camera calibration](apps/calibration/Readme.md)
Calibration for intrinsic and extrinsic parameters
### [Annotator](apps/annotation/Readme.md)
Annotator for bounding box, keypoints and mask
### Other
- [Pose guided synchronization](./doc/todo.md) (comming soon)
- [Exporting of multiple data formats(bvh, asf/amc, ...)](./doc/02_output.md)

## Acknowledgements
Here are the great works this project is built upon:
- SMPL models and layer are from MPII [SMPL-X model](https://github.com/vchoutas/smplx).
- Some functions are borrowed from [SPIN](https://github.com/nkolot/SPIN), [VIBE](https://github.com/mkocabas/VIBE), [SMPLify-X](https://github.com/vchoutas/smplify-x)
- The method for fitting 3D skeleton and SMPL model is similar to [TotalCapture](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~hanbyulj/totalcapture/), without using point clouds.
- We integrate some easy-to-use functions for previous great work:
- `easymocap/estimator/SPIN` : an SMPL estimator[5]
- `easymocap/estimator/YOLOv4`: an object detector[6](Coming soon)
- `easymocap/estimator/HRNet` : a 2D human pose estimator[7](Coming soon)
