Abstract
A lot of research has recently focused on the problem of capturing the
geometry and motion of garments. Such work usually relies on special
markers printed on the fabric to establish temporally coherent
correspondences between points on the garment's surface at different
times. Unfortunately, this approach is tedious and prevents the
capture of off-the-shelf clothing made from interesting fabrics.
In this paper, we describe a marker-free approach to capturing garment
motion that avoids these downsides. We establish temporally coherent
parameterizations between incomplete geometries that we extract at
each timestep with a multiview stereo algorithm. We then fill holes in
the geometry using a template. This approach, for the first time,
allows us to capture the geometry and motion of unpatterned,
off-the-shelf garments made from a range of different fabrics.
