Introducing " XMOB " : Extremity Movement Observation Framework for Upper Body Pose Tracking in 3 D 1 Cuong

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 کاملTowards Multilevel Human Body Modeling and Tracking in 3D: Investigation in Laplacian Eigenspace (LE) Based Initialization and Kinematically Constrained Gaussian Mixture Modeling (KC-GMM)
Vision-based automatic human body pose estimation has many potential applications and it is also a challenging task. Together, these two factors have made vision-based human body pose estimation an attractive research area with closely related research areas including body pose, hand pose, and head pose estimation. Up to now, these research works however only deal with each task of estimating b...
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 کاملUpper limb tracking using depth information for rehabilitative tangible tabletop systems
The motor impairments that affect the upper limb, such as those following an acquired brain injury, are particularly disabling, since this body segment is involved in the majority of the activities of daily living. Virtual reality systems have been reported to stimulate the clinical effectiveness of the rehabilitative strategies, providing intensive and repetitive exercises in a motivating and ...
