Patent ID: 11875529
Assignee: HINGE HEALTH, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A computing system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that includes instructions for estimating three-dimensional (3D) positions of joints of an object through analysis of an image that contains the object,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to:
identify a segment of the image that contains the object;
obtain a two-dimensional (2D) joint heatmap that indicates a 2D location of each of the joints included in the segment of the image;
apply (i) the segment of the image and (i) the 2D joint heatmap to a convolutional neural network, so as to produce an estimated depth for each of the joints; and
for each of the joints,
generate an estimated 3D position by combining the 2D location specified in the 2D joint heatmap with the estimated depth produced by the convolutional neural network.
