Abstract

We present an image-based algorithm for surface reconstruction of moving garments from multiple calibrated video cameras. Using a color-coded cloth texture, we reliably match circular features between different camera views. As surface model we use an a priori known triangle mesh. By identifying the mesh vertices with texture elements we obtain a coherent parametrization of the surface over time without further processing. Missing data points resulting from self-shadowing are plausibly interpolated by minimizing a thin-plate functional. The deforming geometry can be used for different graphics
applications, e.g. for realistic retexturing.We show results for real garments demonstrating the accuracy of the recovered flexible shape.
