3D Scanning & Motion Capture (IN2354)

3D Scanning & Motion Capture (IN2354) (SS24)

Welcome to the 3D Scanning & Motion Capture course offered in SS24.

General Course Structure


The course will be held in a hybrid / "flipped classroom" format. Please attend the first session at the beginning of the semester (16.04.2024) where we will cover the class structure and planning in more detail.

Lecture slides and videos will be uploaded to the Moodle course. In addition, there is opportunity for Q&A for each lecture (during Fridays office hours, please reach out to the lecturer via e-mail).

The class features exercises consisting of additional tutorial and solution videos. The exercises contain practical coding tasks and can be submitted to obtain a grade bonus for the final exam. We encourage students to actively participate in discussions on Moodle. Additionally, we offer in-person Q&A sessions about the exercises (Tuesdays). The exercise submissions will start on the third week of the semester (unrated test-submission in the second week).

The second half of the semester will feature a final project, instead of exercises. You will work on a reconstruction/tracking project in groups of 3-4 students and are supervised by the teaching assistants through weekly written project reports and the possibility for in-person discussions. We introduce you to possible project topics during the in-person Q&A sessions (Tuesdays), so we highly encourage you to join the sessions and think about interesting project directions early.

External Students & Late TUM Online Registrations


We want to provide access to our lecture for as many students as possible.

TUM students can register directly with TUM email address. The other students (e.g. LMU student) need to manually send their email address to us to get enrolled on Moodle.
