Researchers Deploy Markerless Motion Capture For Skeleton

Researchers at the University of Bath have spent the past ten years applying markerless motion‑capture techniques to improve Team GB skeleton athletes' start performance ahead of the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, with skeleton events starting February 12. The deep‑learning system reconstructs 3D skeletons from multiple camera views, validated against marker‑based systems, and could replace traditional setups across film, gaming and rehabilitation.
