Minimal cleanup with HD Reprocessing

Animators don't like sliding feet and jitter, it takes a lot of time to clean up bad mocap data.

What if the data is cleaned up for you?

This blog is about our most powerful feature in the XSENS Animate software: HD Reprocessing.

One of the main annoyances animators point out about motion capture is cleanup. It means cleaning up the errors in mocap data. Because this data is never perfect. And our data is also not perfect. But with the HD Reprocessing feature in Xsens Animate, the data becomes close to perfect!

Data cleanup

When you capture data with motion capture, there are always little flaws. This can happen because of bad calibration, wrong measurements, external interference, loose sensors, the algorithm, or other (external) factors. The result can be foot sliding (feet do not stick to the ground), jitter, bad contact points, and other annoying flaws that need very time-consuming corrections afterward. The animator needs to correct the data in separate software like Maya or Unreal Engine, which can delay your production unnecessarily.

Ultra-clean data

There are two 'engines' in Xsens Animate software. The first one is what you see live, the data is calculated in real-time. What you see on the screen is already very smooth, but if you look closely, you might find some flaws. To give you even better data, we have a second engine: the HD Reprocessor. After you record the data, it will automatically process it in this engine and you get super-clean data in return. We've seen many jaws drop showing this ultra-clean data during our live demos. Feel free to request a demo yourself.

How does HD Reprocessing work

When you are recording data, you know the past and present. But you do not know the future yet. Once you finish recording, we will be able to check the whole file. Now we know the past, present, and future. This way we can correct errors in hindsight; additionally we run a more powerful and extensive algorithm, taught by AI and ML. It recognizes flaws automatically and fixes them. We have customers calling it magic.

Before processing you can see floating hands and feet, and the toes are straight.

After HD Reprocessing this is fixed, hands and feet fixed to the ground and the toes look realistic now.

HD Reprocessing is a powerful tool for animators, it will save them time every time and it will give animators the clean data they need to work efficiently and deliver projects on time.

Watch this simple before and after demo showing the power of HD Reprocessing.
