Abstract:
1. A three dimensional human pose recognition method, comprising steps of: a half-body area determination step of determining, from an input image containing a human image, an image area of a half-body which is a left half portion or a right half portion of a human body; a feature extraction step of extracting, from the image area of the half-body determined by the half-body area determination step, a shape feature vector; a three dimensional half-body pose calculation step of calculating, in accordance with the shape feature vector extracted by the feature extraction step, a three dimensional pose of the half-body, by utilizing a feature mapping matrix corresponding to the half-body; and a three dimensional half-body pose combination step of combining three dimensional pose recognition results of the left half and right half portions of the human body to obtain a three dimensional pose of the whole human body.
