Human Body Pose Estimation
First Claim
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 an image that are associated with at least part of the body; and
for each pixel in the set of pixels, assigning to the pixel a probability that the pixel is within each segment in the set of segments.

Abstract
Techniques for human body pose estimation are disclosed herein. Images such as depth images, silhouette images, or volumetric images may be generated and pixels or voxels of the images may be identified. The techniques may process the pixels or voxels to determine a probability that each pixel or voxel is associated with a segment of a body captured in the image or to determine a three-dimensional representation for each pixel or voxel that is associated with a location on a canonical body. These probabilities or three-dimensional representations may then be utilized along with the images to construct a posed model of the body captured in the image.

9. A system 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 system comprising:
-
a plurality of cameras for generating a plurality of images, at least one of the cameras being placed at a different angle with respect to another of the cameras; a processor that executes instructions to perform operations comprising; generating a volumetric image from the plurality of images; identifying a set of one or more voxels in a volumetric image that are associated with at least part of the body; and for each voxel in the set of voxels, assigning to the voxel a probability that the voxel is within each segment in the set of segments. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. One or more computer storage devices having recorded thereon computer executable instructions for associating locations on a body captured in an image with locations on a model body having a canonical pose, the instructions when executed causing a computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying a set of one or more pixels or voxels in the image that includes at least part of the body; and for each pixel or voxel in the set of pixels or voxels, determining a three-dimensional representation that is associated with a location on the model body. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
