Abstract:
We present a method for capturing the geometry and parameterization of fast-moving cloth using multiple video cameras, without requiring camera calibration. Our cloth is printed with a multi-scale pattern that allows capture at both high speed and high spatial resolution even though self-occlusion might block any individual camera from seeing the majority of the cloth. We show how to incorporate knowledge of this pattern into conventional structure- from-motion approaches, and use a novel scheme for camera calibration using the pattern. We use bundle adjustment to obtain ac- curate reconstruction results and use the parameterization to drive several stages of post processing including strain reduction and a cloth simulation to fill in gaps. We demonstrate our algorithm by capturing, retexturing and displaying several sequences of fast moving cloth.
