Abstract :
The RE@CT project set out to revolutionise the production of realistic 3D characters for game-like applications and interactive video productions, and significantly reduce costs by developing an automated process to extract and represent animated characters from actor performance captured in a multi-camera studio. The key innovation is the development of methods for analysis and representation of 3D video to allow reuse for real-time interactive animation. This enables efficient authoring of interactive characters with video quality appearance and motion.
