# video2mocap ( NOT SUPPORTED )

Convert a video file to animated humanIK skeletons for maya.

**This project never had to intention of being used in a professional capacity 
nor were the results ever anything that can be used in production. Extracting 
skeletal animation from video has moved in a lot since the 4 years this project
was created and are a better source for learning.**

## Logs
As loads of things are running in process it is quite simple for something to
go wrong. For this reason a log file is implemented that gets saved into the
output_dir. If the desired result is unexpected these logs can be investigated
to find out what and where something went wrong.

Keypoint matching example:

2018/07/05/ 12:31:40 | INFO | ---- Match Keypoints Over Multiple Frames ----
    2018/07/05/ 12:31:40 | DEBUG | New Person:            Frame 276
