Shape-from-silhouette of articulated objects and its use for human body kinematics estimation and motion capture

Shape-from-silhouette (SFS), also known as visual hull (VH) construction, is a popular 3D reconstruction method, which estimates the shape of an object from multiple silhouette images. The original SFS formulation assumes that the entire silhouette images are captured either at the same time or while the object is static. This assumption is violated when the object moves or changes shape. Hence the use of SFS with moving objects has been...
