Motion Capture in Mixed-Reality Applications: A Deep Denoising Approach

  • André Correia Gonçalves,
  • Rui Jesus and
  • Pedro Mendes Jorge

Motion capture is a fundamental technique in the development of video games and in film production to animate a virtual character based on the movements of an actor, creating more realistic animations in a short amount of time. One of the ways to obt...
