1. A computer based method for estimating a pose of a motion generator, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of the motion generator;
detecting a plurality of features of the motion generator on the image;
augmenting missing features based on previously generated corresponding predicted features; and
estimating a pose of the motion generator in a motion generator model based on the augmented features and kinematic constraints of the motion generator model.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for estimating upper body human pose are described. According to one aspect, a plurality of anatomical features are detected in a depth image of the human actor. The method detects a head, neck, and torso (H-N-T) template in the depth image, and detects the features in the depth image based on the H-N-T template. An estimated pose of a human model is estimated based on the detected features and kinematic constraints of the human model.
