Abstract

This paper presents the real time processing of optical motion capture with pan-tilt camera tracking. Pan-tilt camera tracking expands the range of capturing field dynamically. The asymmetrical marker distribution and polyhedra search algorithm realize robust labeling against missing markers. The algorithm is developed for parallel cluster computation and enables real time data processing. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system
