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

How to "hide" a second subject in the field of view of opencap

Post by Ranieri Santanchè » Tue Jul 02, 2024 2:26 am

Hello,

we are using OpenCap to track the movements of an operator on a patient. The problem is that Openpose recognizes two "same size" subjects.
To try to alleviate this problem if we dressed the patient in a full-body suit and monochrome colors (black or white), could Openpose recognize only the operator of interest and "hide" the patient?

Best regards,
Ranieri

Hi Ranieri,

If you cannot get the second person to appear shorter, the best option is to occlude the second person as much as possible. We've heard of things that can complete occlude the limbs (for example, a drape or gown) can work well, or the person could stand behind a screen. Note, dressing them in monochrome colors won't help.

Hope this helps,
