A system for marker-less human motion estimation


by Rosenhahn, B, Kersting, UG, Smith, AW, Gurney, JK, Brox, T and Klette, R
Abstract:
In this contribution we present a silhouette based human motion estimation system. The system components contain silhouette extraction based on level sets, a correspondence module, which relates image data to model data and a pose estimation module. Experiments are done in a four camera setup and we estimate the model components with 21 degrees of freedom in two frames per second. Finally, we perform a comparison of the motion estimation system with a marker based tracking system to perform a quantitative error analysis. The results show the applicability of the system for marker-less sports movement analysis. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
