Abstract
Whilst voxel carving approaches exist that allow non-invasive 3D human reconstruction, their performance is heavily dependent on the number of cameras used and the placement of these cameras around the subject. We present a technique to quantify the fall-off in accuracy of spatially carved volumetric representations of humans based on real world constraints. We describe an example of such a quantitative evaluation using a synthetic dataset of typical sports motion in a tennis court scenario, created using computer graphics techniques and motion capture data. Experiments are performed using a baseline voxel carving technique that includes player tracking, background subtraction and player voxel carving. This type of quantitative evaluation could be used by amateur sporting clubs without a sophisticated capture infrastructure to understand how best to instrument a camera network in order to obtain a good trade-off between reconstruction accuracy and installation cost.
