Project : Motion Capture Interpolation
Semester : Spring 2012
Platform : Visual C++
Course : Computer Animation and Simulation
Instructor : Prof. Jernej Barbič (http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~jbarbic/)
Implemented interpolation schemes to interpolate human motion data obtained from an optical mocap system. Two data files generated by the optical mocap system were provided: ASF file, which encodes the skeleton kinematics and AMC file, which stores the motion in time.
Two angles representations were used :

Implemented interpolation schemes to interpolate human motion data obtained from an optical mocap system. Two data files generated by the optical mocap system were provided: ASF file, which encodes the skeleton kinematics and AMC file, which stores the motion in time.
Two angles representations were used :
- Euler Angles
- Quaternions
Interpolation techniques implemented :
- Linear interpolation for Euler angles
- Bezier interpolation for Euler angles
- SLERP interpolation for Quaternions
- Bezier SLERP interpolation for Quaternions
Demo video shows the input motion (in red) and the interpolated motion (in green). The interpolation is between every 40 frames.
