Cloth Capture: Pants Data

This page provides examples and data from our work in cloth motion capture. This webpage focuses on our pants capture data. If you are looking for other models, refer to our main data webpage. To learn about how we created this webpage, please visit our cloth capture webpage.

We are distibuting data in a number of different files:

1. MATLAB source data file.

   These files include several different variables:

   • pts: A point matrix that is indexed by point x dimension x frame. In other words, a 10 frame sequence with 2000 points would be 2000 x 3 x 10 (all data is in 3D).
   • tris: A 1 based index into the point array to define the mesh surface. This is (triangles) x 3.
   • texture_pts: Unnormalized texture coordinates indexed as (points) x 2.
   • texture_tris: With rows corresponding to rows in tris, texture_tris gives 1-based indices into texture_pts.
   • obs: Observability for each triangle: 0 = unobserved, 1 = observed, -1 = seam.

2. MATLAB artificial joints file

   This file contains a single matrix contains 6 artificial joints. This data structure is 6 x 3 x (number of frames).

3. ZIPped OBJ files

   This file has the same data as the MATLAB source data file -- connectivity is the same in each OBJ file.

4. Rendered video

   This video should give you some idea what the data looks like.

5. Wireframe video

   This is just for convenience when I haven't had time to render the data yet.
