Abstract

EIA-9986010 Christoph Bregler Stanford University CISE Research Instrumentation: High-Speed Motion Acquisition The Departments of Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering will purchase 2 high-speed multi-camera setups, a RAID videodisk, and 2 Pentium PC's and an animation software package. This equipment will be dedicated to the support of research in computer and information sciences and engineering. The equipment will be used for several research areas including, in particular, projects addressing: Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Functional Biocmechanics Human Motion Models for Tracking and Activity Interpretation 3D Motion Acquisition for the Stanford Immersive Television Project Animation of realistic and believable characters The general thrust of these efforts is to develop high-quality acquisition and analysis techniques of human movements.
