        **2D Motion Capture for Unity** is a python application designed to be a complement of the Unity asset, 2D Motion Capture.
        This asset enables an easy construction of 2D sprite animations in Unity by a completely device-less motion capture technique,
        and this application plays a role in analyzing a video file to capture the posture of a human in the video. The extraction of the 
        posture from the human image is implemented using [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/) and [torchvision](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/torchvision/index.html).
        With this application, you can easily build a sophisticated animation clip for 
        your Unity project without any need of special equipments, and once the animation is
        generated, you can freely modify the clips the same way you deal with generic Unity animation.

        ### Features
        * Commandline tool for video analysis and a direct connection to Unity Project
        * Simple video editor used for preparation of source video
        * Extracts human posture using a deep learning model of keypoint RCNN in torchvision
        * Exports posture information to a json file
        * Generates Unity animation clip on the editor environment
        * Easy save & load system for the sprite rigging on Unity
        
        ### Installation
        ```{commandline}
        $ pip install unity-2dmocap
        ```
        To update the application to the latest version, you can run:
        ```{commandline}
        $ pip install --upgrade unity-2dmocap
        ```
        To check if the application is installed properly, you can try the following:
        ```{commandline}
        $ python
        ```
        ```{python}
        >>> import mocap2d
        >>> mocap2d.__version__
        ```
        If it prints out something without an error, the application is installed properly.
        
        ### Unity Asset
        
        To use this package, you need a 2D Motion Capture asset, which is a counterpart of 
        this package. You can find the asset in the Unity Asset Store.
        
        ### Usage
        
        Once you have installed the package, you can use the features through a commandline.
        
        ```{commandline}
        $ 2dmocap-unity [-h] { detect, send } -f FILE [-g] [-i INTERVAL] [-s] [-o OUT]
        ```
        The commands you can use are "detect" and "send". "detect" will analyze the video file
        and connect to the Unity project. "send" will read the pre-generated json file
        to the Unity Project without an analysis.
        
        If you are using "detect", the arguments are:
        * -h, --help: show the help message
        * -f FILE, --file FILE: a path to the video file that you want to analyze
        * -g, --gpu: with this argument, the program will run on the gpu instance for a faster analysis
        * -i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL: a target interval between animation keyframes in seconds
        * -s, --show: with this argument, the program will show the resulting skeleton during the analysis
        * -o OUT, -output OUT: a directory in which you will save result.json file for the later use
        
        If you are using "send", the arguments are:
        * -f FILE, --file FILE: a path to the json file you want to send
        
        ### QuickStart
        
        Suppose you want to analyze the video file named "ballet.mp4," and you want to quickly 
        analyze it using the gpu of your machine. In addition, you want to have 0.2 seconds of intervals 
        between keyframes. Then, the following command will start the program.
        
        ```{commandline}
        $ 2dmocap-unity detect --file=ballet.mp4 --gpu --interval=0.2 
        ```
        
        Once you type the command, the program will initiate the analysis as follows.
        
        <p align="center">
            <img src="https://github.com/k2sebeom/unity-2dmocap/raw/master/src/usage/1.png?raw=true">
        </p>
        
        You can wait until the analysis is over, and if you used the argument -s or --show, 
        an external window will show up to show the progress of analysis by drawing a skeleton 
        on the original image. After the analysis is complete, the program will address you to connect to 
        the Unity project.
        
        <p align="center">
            <img src="https://github.com/k2sebeom/unity-2dmocap/raw/master/src/usage/2.png?raw=true">
        </p>
        
        To connect to your Unity project, open your project on the Unity editor. If you have have 
        successfully imported the "2D Motion Capture" asset, the menu will appear on 
        Window/2D Motion Capture.
        
        <p align="center">
            <img src="https://github.com/k2sebeom/unity-2dmocap/raw/master/src/usage/3.png?raw=true">
        </p>
        
        If you click on the menu, the following editor window will show up. 
        
        <p align="center">
            <img src="https://github.com/k2sebeom/unity-2dmocap/raw/master/src/usage/4.png?raw=true">
        </p>
        
        As addressed by the program, if you click on "Connect to the Detector" button, the unity will
        connect with your python session and receive information about the result of the analysis. Then, 
        the window will let you preview the generated animation. If you click on the button "Save Animation Clip", 
        the generated animation clip will be saved to the directory you specify.
        
        <p align="center">
            <img src="https://github.com/k2sebeom/unity-2dmocap/raw/master/src/usage/5.png?raw=true">
        </p>
        
        Once the animation is generated, you can edit the clip just the same way you
         edit generic unity animation clips.
