Re: photoscan on peaople

[Tim Leydecker]

An alternative to using Photoscan might be a multi-Kinect setup using 
something like KScan
or Skanect or Microsoft´s SDK (as a start, I´m not sure multi-inputs are 
supported as sample

code in the SDK).

That will seriously limit the achievable mesh detail due to the Kinext´s 
sensor resolution
but the advantage is realtime capture since there is no need to 
calculate depth.


Snapshots in realtime are possible. Not clean scans but fragmented pose 
snapshots.

No shutter control thought...

I haven´t had the time to check out the Kinect One with any of the 
above, which would
have a higher sensor resolution but also a different way of capturing 
depth data that may

or may not work with your subjects.

I´ve read comments suggesting to add infrared light illumination to 
improve quality off

depth capture but sofar haven´t tried that either.

For Photoscan, make sure to compare the Pro Version with the Standard 
version.
You may need the Pro Version for the alignment features and Marker setup 
it offers.


In any way, it can take minutes to hours to see a result of a capture, 
which may add up

to too much time during a shoot.

Alternatives for photogrammetry based stuff are Nuke and PFTrack to 
generate pointcloud data,
especially PFTrack can give great set data to work with if no LIDARs are 
available.


I´ve seen collegues rebuild a location using multiple shots (scenes, 
sequences) e.g. plates covering weeks
of shooting and then extending that set to taste, with all camera 
positions tracked and aligned in worldspace
and real-world scale. Sounds tedious and overkill but actually saves 
endeless amounts of guesswork, gives
great sense of scale and helps people work out lighting situations or 
asset placements.


Related to capturing moving people the benefit is, you can have footage 
made to align based on the environment,

even if it´s not in the captured set.

One problem I have with the standard version of Photoscan is that it´s 
hard to force alignment to world and

generally real-world scales. That´s where the Pro version has more options.

It's that kind of stuff. A bit of action captured. I was thinking
we'd use about a dozen cameras, but I have a feeling it might need
to be many more. All synced, fast shutter, no motion blur etc.

We'd have a lot to do which is why I'm thinking of setting it up
ourselves. Just depends on the number of cameras that have the
right capabilities.

Re: photoscan on peaople

Agisoft works well for people. I’ve done single camera heads to a pretty high 
quality. but they do need to stay very still.

Moving would work, if you have the setup for it. It really would need to be 
synched or it’d be a mess and a fast shutter speed so no motion blur, which 
means lots of light.

Re: photoscan on peaople

[Stefan Kubicek]

It depends on the type of movement you want to capture, and whether the model 
you are creating from the photos needs to hold up from every angle or not.
Most full body scans I've seen were created with a spherical array of cameras, 
which narrows the volume of movement down quite abit.
That said, capturing someone runnig will require an entirely different setup, 
and probably some compromise (e.g. back of the model not visible)
For subtle movement the room inside a spherical array might just be enough 
though.

If I'm correct, the guys at infinite realities (http://ir-ltd.net/) use
Agisoft for their full body scans.

Shooting for 3D models id a bit tedious at some points, but there's a lot of
examples to be found on Youtube and Vimeo.
To get really good 3D models, you need a LOT of photos from a LOT of angles.

I'm not sure if moving people will work out for this stuff, but am happily
corrected if this is easily possible though.

Hi Chris,

what do you mean by a "capturing a snapshot of movement", what exactly are
you expecting to get from it? Animated mesh? Set of animated nulls?

Re: photoscan on peaople

[paul]

you’d need more than 12 for a good 360 scan.. you could probably just about 
achieve a 360 with 12 , but it would probably be quite blobby and patchy.

We captured one side of a moving horse, with an array of 12, genlocked 4k video 
cameras, and it wasn’t really enough, just for doing one side. I know you’ll be 
shooting higher res than that, but there are a lot of occlusions that 12 likely 
wont cover.

Thanks Adrian / Paul

It's that kind of stuff. A bit of action captured. I was thinking we'd use 
about a dozen cameras, but I have a feeling it might need to be many more. All 
synced, fast shutter, no motion blur etc.


We'd have a lot to do which is why I'm thinking of setting it up ourselves. 
Just depends on the number of cameras that have the right capabilities.


Cheers

Re: photoscan on peaople

[Chris Marshall]

OK Yes seen the link. I don't need particularly good models, or even ones
that can be animated. We're more interested in capturing a snapshot of
movement, even if the quality of the model isn't brilliant.

Thanks
