Demand of Running OpenCap Locally

New project for OpenCap, which is a new software package to estimate 3D human movement dynamics from smartphone videos. OpenCap strongly relies on OpenSim.

Demand of Running OpenCap Locally

Post by Stephen Tao » Sun Sep 29, 2024 1:44 am

Hi,

I am studing the source code of OpenCap on github recently. Because of the requirement of our project, I have to deploy the whole pipeline locally, from data collection to model prediction. Specifically, collect data using our own camera and peform the calibration procedure on our machine without connecting to the cloud, and use deep learning models to further process the videos.

However, from the description of README file I didn't see an approach to implement what I want, the data has to be uploaded to the cloud. Could you teach me how to do this if possible please?

Best regards,

Stephen Tao

Hi Stephen,

We do not support doing that unfortunately. You need to use our app to record videos with pre-defined camera settings. And our app uploads videos to our cloud.

If you record your own videos and have the camera intrinsics and extrinsics, then you can leverage our code for data processing https://github.com/stanfordnmbl/opencap-core but you would need to figure out which part to overwrite.

Best,
Antoine
