Patent 9911219 was granted and assigned to Intel on March, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Techniques related to pose estimation for an articulated body are discussed. Such techniques may include extracting, segmenting, classifying, and labeling blobs, generating initial kinematic parameters that provide spatial relationships of elements of a kinematic model representing an articulated body, and refining the kinematic parameters to provide a pose estimation for the articulated body.
