The CMU Motion of Body (MoBo) Database

In March 2001 we started to collect the CMU Motion of Body (MoBo) database. To date the database contains 25 individuals walking on a treadmill in the CMU 3D room. The subjects perform four different walk patterns: slow walk, fast walk, incline walk and walking with a ball. All subjects are captured using six high resolution color cameras distributed evenly around the treadmill. In this technical report we describe the capture setup, the collection procedure and the organization of the database.
