Abstract

In this chapter, we propose our first performance capture algorithm. By combining an image-based 3D correspondence estimation algorithm and a Guided Laplacian-based mesh deformation scheme (Sect. 3.2.2), our system captures the performance of a moving subject from multiple video streams, while preserving the connectivity of the underlying mesh structure over time.
