Motion Capture in Outdoors

Abstract

For motion capture system used at outdoors, this paper presents two contributions. One is a configuration of multiple camera system, of which cameras are synchronized by GPS signal. Thus, the wireless synchronization of cameras does not disturb the pedestrian traffic. Another is a new method to estimate skeleton pose of pedestrian who brings luggage or backs a rucksack. These belonging make it difficult to discriminate body trunk. Our method can infer trunk skeleton from shoulder and hip joints.
