In a method for reconstructing a motion of an object from a sequence of motion pattern segments of a computer model of the object, a motion transition between an initial motion state and a final motion state of the object in a time interval of the motion is captured based on position data of the at least one sampling point which is received from the position marker. Further, at least one motion pattern segment corresponding to the motion transition is selected from a plurality of motion patterns of the computer model which are stored in a database such that the selected motion pattern segment leads with sufficient probability from the initial motion state to the final motion state for the time interval. Furthermore, an image of the motion of the object for the time interval is reconstructed using the initial motion state and the selected motion pattern segment.
