Abstract
Automated human body modeling and 3D pose reconstruction from monocular video sequences are challenging tasks because humans may possess very sophisticated postures with various types of motions. The 3D pose inference from extracted 2D human objects is further complicated by different viewing perspectives and self-occlusion. The successful development of this framework can eventually be applied to all kinds of human centric event detection and behavior understanding based on the 3D motion trajectories of the 3D human body parts. Our system achieves “real- time” 3D pose inference of the human body and extracts the 3D motion trajectories of various human body parts reliably.
