摘要
In this paper, we address the recovery of human 2D postures from monocular image sequences. We propose a novel pose estimation framework which is based on the integration of probabilistic bottom-up and top-down processes which iteratively refine each other: foreground pixels are segmented using image cues whereas a hierarchical 2D body model fitting constraints body partitions. Its main advantages are twofold. First, the presented framework is activity-independent since it does not rely on learning any motion model. Secondly, we propose a confidence score indicating the quality of each estimated pose. Our study also reveals significant discrepancy between ground truth joint positions according to whether they are defined by humans or a motion capture system. Quantitative and qualitative results are presented on a variety of video sequences to validate our approach.
