Digitize Your Body and Action in 3-D at Over 10 FPS: Real Time Dense Voxel Reconstruction and Marker-less Motion Tracking via GPU Acceleration


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this paper, we present an approach to reconstruct 3-D human motion from multi-cameras and track human skeleton using the reconstructed human 3-D point (voxel) cloud. We use an improved and more robust algorithm, probabilistic shape from silhouette to reconstruct human voxel. In addition, the annealed particle filter is applied for tracking, where the measurement is computed using the reprojection of reconstructed voxel. We use two different ways to accelerate the approach. For the CPU only acceleration, we leverage Intel TBB to speed up the hot spot of the computational overhead and reached an accelerating ratio of 3.5 on a 4-core CPU. Moreover, we implement an intensively paralleled version via GPU acceleration without TBB. Taking account all data transfer and computing time, the GPU version is about 400 times faster than the original CPU implementation, leading the approach to run at a real-time speed.
