Systems and methods for motion capture

Motion is captured to generate content (e.g., motion pictures, television programming, videos, etc.). An actor 206 or other performing being has multiple markers 226, 234 on his or her face that are essentially invisible to the human eye, but that can be clearly captured by camera systems.

Zusammenfassung:Motion is captured to generate content (e.g., motion pictures, television programming, videos, etc.). An actor 206 or other performing being has multiple markers 226, 234 on his or her face that are essentially invisible to the human eye, but that can be clearly captured by camera systems. A first camera system 204a-d can capture the performance within a first light wavelength spectrum (e.g., invisible light spectrum such as the IR light spectrum), and a second camera system 202 can simultaneously capture the performance in a second light wavelength spectrum different from the first spectrum (e.g., visible light spectrum). The images captured by the first and second camera systems can be combined to generate content. First light reflected from markers are captured from at least two perspectives. The markers are gel-based retroreflective markers configured to reflect the first light and include a first set of microspheres having a first diameter and a second set microspheres having a second diameter different from the first.
