In this paper we present an algorithm for automatically estimating a subject's skeletal structure from optical motion capture data. Our algorithm consists of a series of steps that cluster markers into segment groups, determine the topological connectivity between these groups, and locate the positions of their connecting joints. Our problem formulation makes use of fundamental distance constraints that must hold for markers attached to an articulated structure, and we solve the resulting systems using a combination of spectral clustering and nonlinear optimization. We have tested our algorithms using data from both passive and active optical motion capture devices. Our results show that the system works reliably even with as few as one or two markers on each segment. For data recorded from human subjects, the system determines the correct topology and qualitatively accurate structure. Tests with a mechanical calibration linkage demonstrate errors for inferred segment lengths on average of only two percent. We discuss applications of our methods for commercial human figure animation, and for identifying human or animal subjects based on their motion independent of marker placement or feature selection.
