Abstract

We address the problem of articulated posture estimation in it's general form. Namely, the recovery of full 3D posture parameters from an uncontrolled scene. Stochastic modeling of low-level image data is unified with models of object kinematic structure through a constrained mixture of observation processes. A modified Expectation-Maximization algorithm is proposed for this purpose. Early experiments qualitatively demonstrate the efficacy of our approach.
