Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 22:
23. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program that causes a computer to execute a process, said process comprising:
obtaining a spatial distribution of a likelihood of a position of each feature point in a body of a subject based on a single input image or a plurality of input images taken at the same time wherein said subject has a plurality of feature points including a plurality of joints and the input image is of a pose of the subject with an articulated structure comprising the plurality of joints;
obtaining one or a plurality of position candidates corresponding to each feature point based on the spatial distribution of said likelihood of the position of each feature point;
obtaining each joint angle by performing an optimization calculation based on inverse kinematics using said candidates and said articulated structure; and
obtaining positions of the feature points including the joints by performing a forward kinematics calculation using said joint angles.
