We present Motion2Fusion, a state-of-the-art 360 performance capture system that enables *real-time* reconstruction of arbitrary non-rigid scenes. We provide three major contributions over prior work: 1) a new non-rigid fusion pipeline allowing for far more faithful reconstruction of high frequency geometric details, avoiding the over-smoothing and visual artifacts observed previously. 2) a high speed pipeline coupled with a machine learning technique for 3D correspondence field estimation reducing tracking errors and artifacts that are attributed to fast motions. 3) a backward and forward non-rigid alignment strategy that more robustly deals with topology changes but is still free from scene priors. Our novel performance capture system demonstrates real-time results nearing 3x speed-up from previous state-of-the-art work on the exact same GPU hardware. Extensive quantitative and qualitative comparisons show …
