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

This is the basic code for fitting SMPL[1]/SMPL+H[2]/SMPL-X[3] model to capture body+hand+face poses from multiple views.

^{Videos are from ZJU-MoCap, with 23 calibrated and synchronized cameras.}

Internet video with a mirror

^{The raw video is from Youtube.}

^{Captured with 6 cameras and a mirror}

Multiple Internet videos with a specific action (Coming soon)

^{Internet videos of Roger Federer's serving}

Multiple views of multiple people (Coming soon)

^{Captured with 4 consumer cameras}

Others

This project is used by many other projects:

• [CVPR21] Dense Reconstruction and View Synthesis from Sparse Views

Other features

• Camera calibration: a simple calibration tool based on OpenCV
• Pose guided synchronization (comming soon)
• Annotator: a simple GUI annotator based on OpenCV
• Exporting of multiple data formats(bvh, asf/amc, ...)
• Real-time visualization

Updates

• 06/04/2021: The real-time 3D visualization part is released!
• 04/12/2021: Mirrored-Human part is released. We also release the calibration tool and the annotator.

Installation

See doc/install for more instructions.

Evaluation

The weight parameters can be set according to your data.

More quantitative reports will be added in doc/evaluation.md

Acknowledgements

Here are the great works this project is built upon:

• SMPL models and layer are from MPII SMPL-X model.
• Some functions are borrowed from SPIN, VIBE, SMPLify-X
• The method for fitting 3D skeleton and SMPL model is similar to 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)

We also would like to thank Wenduo Feng who is the performer in the sample data.
