  • Controlled human pose estimation from depth image streams
    Publication number: 20090252423
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for estimating human body pose are described. According to one aspect, anatomical features are detected in a depth image of a human actor. The method detects a head, neck, and trunk (H-N-T) template in the depth image, and detects limbs in the depth image based on the H-N-T template. The anatomical features are detected based on the H-N-T template and the limbs. An estimated pose of a human model is estimated based on the detected features and kinematic constraints of the human model.
