Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: accessing positional and orientation relationships between multiple support structures and respective virtual structures that correspond to body parts of an actor, the actor to be tracked over multiple frames of image data, the frames comprising one or more camera views, wherein each support structure is positioned on the corresponding body part of the actor and includes a plurality of marks, wherein the support structures have sufficient rigidity that the marks on each support structures maintain substantially fixed distances from each other on the support structure in response to movement by the actor; obtaining at least one frame of the actor to be tracked and processing each of the at least one frame, wherein processing a frame comprises: encoding, by the computer system on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the estimated position and orientation of the at least one of the virtual structures.
