Dual Quaternions as Constraints in 4D-DPM Models for Pose Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this research work is to improve the accuracy of human pose estimation using the Deformation Part Model (DPM) without increasing computational complexity. First, the proposed method seeks to improve pose estimation accuracy by adding the depth channel to DPM, which was formerly defined based only on red-green-blue (RGB) channels, in order to obtain a four-dimensional DPM (4D-DPM). In addition, computational complexity can be controlled by reducing the number of joints by taking it into account in a reduced 4D-DPM. Finally, complete solutions are obtained by solving the omitted joints by using inverse kinematics models. In this context, the main goal of this paper is to analyze the effect on pose estimation timing cost when using dual quaternions to solve the inverse kinematics.

Structure from Motion Using Rigidly Coupled Cameras without Overlapping Views
Structure from Motion can be improved by using multicamera systems without overlapping views to provide a large combined field of view. The extrinsic calibration of such camera systems can be computed from local reconstructions using hand-eye calibration techniques. Nevertheless these approaches demand that motion constraints resulting from the rigid coupling of the cameras are satisfied which ...
متن کاملMPG - Fast Forward Reasoning on 6 DOF Pose Uncertainty
Estimation of the pose of an object, or equivalently estimation of a rigid motion, is a prerequisite to many tasks in robotics like perception and manipulation. We want to estimate object poses, consisting of orientation and position of a target object, with 6 degrees of freedom (DOF). We use dual quaternions for the representation of the pose and Mixtures of Projected Gaussians as probability ...
متن کاملNonlinear least squares optimisation of unit quaternion functions for pose estimation from corresponding features
Pose estimation from an arbitrary number of 2-D to 3D feature correspondences is often done by minimising a nonlinear criterion function using one of the minimal representations for the orientation. However, there are many advantages in using unit quaternions to represent the orientation. Unfortunately, a straightforward formulation of the pose estimation problem based on quaternions results in...
متن کاملBingham Distribution-Based Linear Filter for Online Pose Estimation
Pose estimation is central to several robotics applications such as registration, hand-eye calibration, SLAM, etc. Online pose estimation methods typically use Gaussian distributions to describe the uncertainty in the pose parameters. Such a description can be inadequate when using parameters such as unit-quaternions that are not unimodally distributed. A Bingham distribution can effectively mo...

Close-proximity operations between spacecraft allow for docking and inspection of a target vehicle. Very small spacecraft are well-suited for proximity activities and are of growing interest in the aerospace community. However, due to size and power constraints, small vehicles cannot carry traditional precision navigation systems and generally have noisy sensor and actuator options. This paper ...
