Abstract: A spatial monitoring system employs a partial dimension iterative closest point analysis to provide improved accuracy for point cloud registration. The partial dimension iterative closest point analysis improves registration accuracy by performing optimization in accordance with an error magnitude of each dimension, wherein dimensions having large initial errors are significantly improved, and dimensions having high initial accuracy are further improved. The registration separately optimizes each dimension using surfaces with contributing information for the optimized dimension.

Abstract: First video data representing performance of an activity by a first user is acquired. Poses of the first user are determined from the first video data. Second video data is generated based on the determined poses and based on appearance data that represents a second user, such as a model, paid performer, and so forth, in various poses. The resulting second video data depicts the second user performing the same poses as the first user. The second video data may then be sent to a recipient. For example, a participant in an exercise class may send a video to an instructor that depicts what appears to be the paid performer performing the poses, instead of the participant. As a result, video data showing the participant is not shared, protecting the privacy of the participant while still allowing them to participate and interact.
