Real-time human pose estimation using multi-view image analysis

摘要

This paper presents real-time human motion analysis based on silhouette contour analysis. Our purpose is to develop a computer-vision-based human motion analysis system, which can be applied to human-machine interaction via human gestures. Since vision-based human motion capturing systems are essentially unstable and can only acquire partial information because of self-occlusion, we have introduced a robust pose estimation strategy, which can estimate human postures from limited perceptual cues such as positions of a head, hands and feet. In this paper, we outline a real-time and on-line human motion capture system and demonstrate a simple interaction system based on the motion capture system.
