OpenCap Monocular: Open-Source Tool for 3D Human Kinematics from a Single Smartphone Video
rsasaki0109 · x · 2026-08-12
The opencap-monocular project allows researchers to estimate 3D human movement kinematics and musculoskeletal kinetics using just a video from a single smartphone.
Technical Stack:
- 3D Pose Estimation: Powered by the WHAM model.
- Camera & Pose Optimization: Enhances spatial accuracy from monocular input.
- Biomechanical Modeling: Integrates OpenSim for detailed musculoskeletal dynamics.
Gaining rapid traction on GitHub, the tool provides a highly accessible solution for sports analysis, rehabilitation, and CV research.
