Abstract

We developed a software package for creating realistic simple human animations. The package uses the open source 3D modeling software Blender and the cripting language Python. The animations are generated for several cameras ought to be used for testing and learning of tracking algorithms in the multi-camera system where the ground-truth data are needed. We made a human skeletal model and designed the way how to animate it by scripts by using motion capture data. The texture of 3D human model can be obtained from captured images. We designed our own algorithm for automatic rigging mesh model with the bones of the skeletal model.
