Feature-based Annealing Particle Filter for Robust Body Pose Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new annealing method for particle filtering in the context of body pose estimation. The feature-based annealing is inferred from the weighting functions obtained with common image features used for the likelihood approximation. We introduce a complementary weighting function based on the foreground extraction and we balance the different measures through the annealing layers in order to improve the posterior estimate. This technique is applied to estimate the upper body pose of a subject in a realistic multi-view environment. Comparative results between the proposed method and the common annealing strategy are presented to assess the robustness of the algorithm.

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....
