  • Calibrating object shape
    Patent number: 10037624
    Abstract: Examples describe an apparatus for calibrating a three dimensional (3D) mesh model of an articulated object. The articulated object is an instance of a specified object class. The apparatus comprises an input configured to receive captured sensor data depicting the object. The apparatus has a calibration engine configured to compute values of shape parameters of the 3D mesh model which indicate which member of the object class is depicted in the captured sensor data, in order to calibrate the 3D mesh model. The calibration engine is configured to compute the values of the shape parameters with an optimization process to find at least one potential local or global minimum of an energy function, the energy function expressing a degree of similarity between data rendered from the model and the received sensor data.
