Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for capturing a motion of a dynamic object, and restore appearance information of an object making a dynamic motion and motion information of main joints from multi-viewpoint video images of motion information of a dynamic object such as a human body, making a motion through a motion of a skeletal structure on the basis of the skeletal structure, acquired by using multiple cameras. According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to restore motion information of the object making a dynamic motion by using only an image sensor for a visible light range and to reproduce a multi-viewpoint image by effectively storing the restored information. Further, it is possible to restore motion information of the dynamic object without attaching a specific marker.
