1. A method for estimating the configuration of a figure in an image, comprising the steps of:

  • generating a plurality of poses for a figure, each having an associated configuration that is defined by a plurality of configuration parameters;

    for each pose, generating a representation image that is defined by a plurality of representation parameters;

    computing an eigen-points model for figure configurations, based upon said configuration parameters and said representation parameters associated with said plurality of poses;

    generating a representation image for a new image of a figure whose configuration is unknown;

    applying the representation parameters for said new image to said model; and

    generating a set of configuration parameters for the new image from said model.
