Abstract
Capturing a surface in motion picture, including: covering a surface with a pattern formed of a marking material; acquiring a sequence of image frames, each image frame of the sequence including a plurality of images of the pattern covering the surface; deriving a mesh object from the plurality of images for the each image frame; tracking the mesh object in each frame through the sequence of frames; and generating animation data modeling a characteristic of the surface using the tracked mesh object.
