An upper body motion capture system is proposed along with a new method for combined filtering and key-frame reduction of motion capture data. Filtering of motion capture data is necessary to eliminate any jitter introduced by a motion capture system. Key-frame reduction, on the other hand, allows animators to easily edit motion data by representing animation curves with a significantly smaller number of key frames. The proposed technique achieves key frame reduction and jitter removal simultaneously by fitting a Hermite curve to motion capture data using dynamic programming. Using this technique, the upper body motion will be captured and analyzed.
