Matlab software for processing motion capture files.zip

MATLAB Motion Capture Toolbox ============================= The MATLAB motion capture toolbox allows loading and playing of BVH and acclaim files in MATLAB. Warning this toolbox seems to be affected by a possible bug in MATLAB 7.4, see [here](/2009/02/04/note-on-a-bug-in-matlab/) for details. Release Information ------------------- **Current release is 0.136**. As well as downloading the MOCAP software you need to obtain the toolboxes specified below. | **Toolbox** | **Version** | |--------------------------------------------|-------------| | [NDLUTIL](/ndlutil/downloadFiles/vrs0p161) | 0.161 | Missing a file for reading the poser data. #### Release 0.135 Added visualisation files written by Carl Henrik Ek for the Human Eva data and for Ankur Agarwal's Poser generated silhouette data. #### Release 0.134 Bug fix release, a bug in bvh2xyz meant that if a position was included in the bvh skeleton structure for non-root nodes, the xyz positions were computed incorrectly. Thanks to Richard Widgery and Christopher Hulbert for identifying this problem. horse.bvh removed due to copyright reasons. To obtain a license for this file, and plenty of other motion capture data of horses, please contact Richard Widgery of Kinetic Impulse. #### Release 0.133 This release is a bug fix release, to deal with bugs in mocapResultsCppBvh, thanks to Cedric Vanaken for pointing out the problem. #### Release 0.132 Moved tree handling code into NDLUTIL toolbox, version 0.156. #### Release 0.131 This release fixes a bug where the left was displayed on the right and vice versa. #### Release 0.13 New in this release is the ability to load data in the acclaim ASF/AMC format. See the example below for details. Examples -------- Once downloaded you can try loading a BVH data set from the examples directory. ```matlab >> [skel, channels, frameLength] = bvhReadFile('examples/Swagger.bvh'); >> ``` This motion capture data was taken from Ohio State University's [ACCAD](http://accad.osu.edu/research/mocap/mocap_data.htm) centre. You can now play the data using the command ```matlab >> skelPlayData(skel, channels, frameLength); ``` You can also download and read data in the Acclaim format (asf/amc). In the example below we load a nd play data from the [CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database](http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu). We use the tenth example from the 86th subject. We have assumed that you have placed the files in the `examples` subdirectory. ```matlab >> skel = acclaimReadSkel('examples/86.asf'); >> [channels, skel] = acclaimLoadChannels('examples/86_10.amc', skel); >> skelPlayData(skel, channels, 1/120); >> ``` Where the frames per second is given on the CMU site as 120.
