What about (untested)

:[range]s/\p\.\s\+\zs\l/\u\0/g

: this is an Ex-command
[range] see :help [range], e.g. fromline,toline
s substitute, see :help :s
/ what to find starts here, see :help pattern-overview
\p printable character
\. period
\s whitespace
\+ the preceding atom may occur 1 or more times
\zs start replacing here
\l lowercase letter
/ what to replace by starts here, see :help sub-replace-special
\u make the next character uppercase
\0 the original replace-from string
/ end of replace-by part, start of flags, see :help :s_flags
g any number of times (not only one) per line


Best regards,
Tony.
