Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal requests equipment to support the research of the principal investigator under a five year EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship AF/97/2531. The aim of this research is to develop non-invasive techniques for capturing complex motion of non-rigid objects such as human movement. The research will be conducted in the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing at the University of Surrey in collaboration with existing industrial partners. Support is requested to facilitate the set-up of a real-time 3D surface measurement system for capturing and interpreting human motion from imaging sequences. The proposed research will utilise existing facilities for 3D surface measurement using structured light. A high-performance 3D graphics workstation is requested to enable real-time video acquisition, motion capture and visualisation. This will provide a front end to an existing multi-processor computing facility without any graphics capability. Support is also requested for a colour video camera, graphics software and a set of generic 3D human models. The resources requested will significantly enhance the timelines of the proposed research and enable the goal of demonstrating the first non-invasive system for real-time capture of 3D human motion to be achieved. This system will enable research into advanced human-computer interfaces and interactive virtual reality.
