LeapMotion recording, export to BVH and Anybody
- Record
Plug in the Leap Motion Controller and make a recording of the right hand
- Settings
- Setting "Frames per second" defines the minimum time delta between to recorded frames
- Checking "Animate" will open the bvh animation after recording, a slider can be used to iterate through the frames
- Setting the basis
- BVH Export
- Setting "Write BVH-File" will export the recorded motion to a BVH file defined in the next setting
- Choose the filepath and name in "BVH File"
- Setting "BVH Channels" will export either the channels XRotation, YRotation, ZRotation or also XPosition, YPosition, ZPosition
- Interpolation Vector
- Setting "Write interpolation files for AnyBody" will export the files
- Elbow.any (pronation angle)
- Finger[1-5].any (angles for all finger joints)
- FingerLength.any (scaling of the finger lengths based on Leap Motion recording)
- TimeSeries.any (equally spaced time points between 0 and 1)
- Wrist.any (abduction and flexion angles for wrist)
- Choose the template directory, the AnyBody interpolation files are written based on those files
- Choose the output directory, here the above mentioned files will be saved to
- Setting "Write interpolation files for AnyBody" will export the files
- Settings
- AnyBody (repository)
- Source files
- Choose "exisiting vector files" if interpolation files are already in the project folder /Model/InterpolVec
- Choose ".bvh file" to convert it to the interpolation files based on the templates in config/anybody_templates/ and copy into the AnyBody project folder /Model/InterpolVec
- Choose "Source (.any)" to copy all .any files into the AnyBody project folder /Model/InterpolVec
- Setting "HAND.Main.any" defines the main model file of the AnyBody project, which should be loaded for the analysis
- Setting "Start Frame" will define the first frame to start with (cut off the frames before that). Leaving this option empty will set the first frame to 1
- Setting "End Frame" will define the last frame to end with (cut off the frames after that). Leaving this option empty will set the last frame to end
- Operations
- Select the operations which should be executed in AnyBody
- Setting "Time steps" will rewrite alls lines which match
nStep = xx;in the main model file. (e.g.nStep = 50;)
- Results
- Selecting "plot after the analysis" will open an interactive plot for the results from the AnyBody analysis (joint angles)
- Setting ".anydata.h5 file" will save the results from the AnyBody anaylsis to the specified file
- Selecting "Open AnyBody" will open the AnyBody GUI after the analysis and will load the .anydata.h5 to make a replay available
- Source files
- Converter
- Convert a given bvh file to the interpolation files used for AnyBody based on the templates in config/anybody_templates
- Animation
- Open a bvh file to animate it, a slider can be used to iterate through the frames
- AnyBody initial basis -> select for correct movement within AnyBody
- Leap Motion first frame basis -> select for exporting to BVH and use in other applications
Windows
-
Install python (3.9.13) i.e. from
-
Add python to system path during setup or follow the following instructions:
https://github.com/BurntSushi/nfldb/wiki/Python-&-pip-Windows-installation
-
Install dependencies, by running the following in a command prompt:
pip install -r requirements.txt
You might have to use pip3 instead, depending on your setup.
- Start RoSeMotion
