SIMI Shape 3D

Overview

Revolutionary Markerless Motion Capture system. Simi Shape 3D allows full-body 3D motion capture and analysis without any markers. Simi Shape captures movement based on silhouettes. 

How it Works

Participant videos are captured by 8 cameras.

Silhouettes are extracted (separation of participant and background).

Fitting of silhouettes for virtual 3D-model and person.

Optimal fitting of silhouettes with 3D-model allows extraction of 3D joint positions and joint angles.

The results are 3D joint positions and joint angles (similar to marker-based systems but without using markers)

Features and Benefits

Feature		Benefit
Integration with Simi Motion		offers the unique solution for hybrid use of two technologies, marker-based and markerless.
Image based tracking without markers		no time loss attaching marker sets, reduction of artefacts caused by misplacing markers
