Human body pose estimation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a position of a body using a set of one or more segments, each segment being associated with a portion of the body, the method comprising:
- identifying a set of one or more pixels in a depth map that includes at least part of the body; and
for each pixel in the set of pixels, assigning to the pixel a first probability that the pixel is within each segment in the set of segments.

Abstract
Techniques for human body pose estimation are disclosed herein. Depth map images from a depth camera may be processed to calculate a probability that each pixel of the depth map is associated with one or more segments or body parts of a body. Body parts may then be constructed of the pixels and processed to define joints or nodes of those body parts. The nodes or joints may be provided to a system which may construct a model of the body from the various nodes or joints.
