Device, method and computer program for reconstructing a motion of an object

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for reconstructing a motion of an object from a sequence of motion pattern segments of a 3D computer model of the object, wherein each motion pattern segment corresponds to a different time interval of the motion, and wherein the object comprises at least one sampling point coupled to a position marker, the method comprising:

• a) capturing a motion transition between an initial motion state and a final motion state of the object in a time interval of the motion based on position data of the at least one sampling point which is received from the position marker;
• b) selecting at least one digital motion pattern segment corresponding to the motion transition from a plurality of digital motion patterns of the 3D computer model which are stored in a database such that the selected digital motion pattern segment for the 3D computer model leads with sufficient probability from the initial motion state to the final motion state for the time interval;
• and
• c) reconstructing an image of the motion of the object for the time interval by use of the 3D computer model using the initial motion state and the selected digital motion pattern segment of the 3D computer model.
