Articulated Body Tracking Using Dynamic Belief Propagation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient articulated body tracking algorithm is proposed in this paper. Due to the high dimensionality of human-body motion, current articulated tracking algorithms based on sampling [1], belief propagation (BP) [2], or non-parametric belief propagation (NBP) [3], are very slow. To accelerate the articulated tracking algorithm, we adapted belief propagation according to the dynamics of articulated human motion. The searching space is selected according to the prediction based on human motion dynamics and current body-configuration estimation. The searching space of the dynamic BP tracker is much smaller than the one of traditional BP tracker [2] and the dynamic BP need not the slow Gibbs sampler used in NBP [3–5]. Based on a graphical model similar to the pictorial structure [6] or loose-limbed model [3], the proposed efficient, dynamic BP is carried out to find the MAP of the body configuration. The experiments on tracking the body movement in meeting scenario show robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Real-Time 3D Articulated Pose Tracking using Particle Filtering and Belief Propagation on Factor Graphs
This article proposes a new statistical model for fast 3D articulated body tracking, similar to the loose-limbed model, but using the factor graph representation. Belief propagation is used to estimate the current marginal for each limb. All belief propagation messages are represented as sums of weighted samples. The resulting algorithm corresponds to a set of particle filters, one for each lim...

This paper describes a method for articulated 3D upper body tracking in monocular scenes using a graphical model to represent an articulated body structure. Belief propagation on factor graphs is used to compute the marginal probabilities of limbs. The body model is a loose-limbed model including attraction factors between adjacent limbs and constraints to reject poses resulting in collisions. ...

Recently many methods for human articulated body tracking were proposed in the literature. These techniques are often computationally intensive and cannot be used for Human-Computer Interface. We propose in this article a real-time algorithm for upper body tracking with occultation handling. The tracking is based on an articulated body model, also used to automatically initialize the target. Af...
