Traditional performance capture methods require a costly dedicated setup which usually consists of more than one sensor placed at a distance from the subject, hence requiring a large amount of budget and space to accommodate. This lowers its feasibility and portability by a huge amount. Egocentric (first-personwearable) cameras, however, are attached to the body and hence are mobile. With the rise of acceptance of wearable technology by the general public, wearable cameras have gotten cheaper too. We can make use of their excessive portability in the performance capture domain. However, working with egocentric images is a mammoth task as the views are severely distorted due to the first-person perspective, and the body parts farther from the camera are highly prone to be occluded. In this paper, we review the existing state-of-the-art methods of performance capture using egocentric-based views. 2020 2020 64 73 10.54216/FPA.020204 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/3/show/561
