Introducing "XMOB": Extremity Movement Observation Framework for Upper Body Pose Tracking in 3D

چکیده
We introduce a vision based, markerless upper body pose tracking approach that first tracks the 3D movements of extremities, including head and hands. Then based on the knowledge of upper body model, these extremity movements are used to predict the whole upper body motion as an inverse kinematics problem. The experimental validation showed the promise of applying this approach in several smart environments and HCI situations, e.g. user activity observation in driving scene, meeting room, teleconference scene.

متن کاملAppearance-based Person Tracking and 3d Pose Estimation of Upper-body and Head
In the field of human-robot interaction (HRI), recognition of humans in a robot’s surroundings is a crucial task. Besides the localization, the estimation of a person’s 3D pose based on monocular camera images is a challenging problem on a mobile platform. For this purpose, an appearancebased approach, using a 3D model of the human upper body, has been developed end experimentally investigated....
متن کاملA Bayesian Framework for Human Body Pose Tracking from Depth Image Sequences
This paper addresses the problem of accurate and robust tracking of 3D human body pose from depth image sequences. Recovering the large number of degrees of freedom in human body movements from a depth image sequence is challenging due to the need to resolve the depth ambiguity caused by self-occlusions and the difficulty to recover from tracking failure. Human body poses could be estimated thr...
متن کاملCombining Human Body Shape and Pose Estimation for Robust Upper Body Tracking Using a Depth Sensor
Rapid and accurate estimation of a person’s upper body shape and real-time tracking of the pose in the presence of occlusions is crucial for many future assistive technologies, health care applications and telemedicine systems. We propose to tackle this challenging problem by combining data-driven and generative methods for both body shape and pose estimation. Our strategy comprises a subspace-...
متن کاملHierarchical Approach for Articulated 3D Pose-Estimation and Tracking
In the recent years we presented a number of methods for a fully automatic pose estimation [5, 7] and tracking [6] of human bodies in 2D [5] and 3D [6]. Initialization and failure recovery in these methods are facilitated by the use of loose-limbed body model [7] in which limbs are connected via learned probabilistic constraints. The pose estimation and tracking can then be formulated as an inf...
