Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for estimating a pose of an articulated object model ( 4 ), wherein the articulated object model ( 4 ) is a computer based 3D model ( 1 ) of a real world object ( 14 ) observed by one or more source cameras ( 9 ), and the articulated object model ( 4 ) represents a plurality of joints ( 2 ) and of links ( 3 ) that link the joints ( 2 ), and wherein the pose of the articulated object model ( 4 ) is defined by the spatial location of the joints ( 2 ), the method comprising the steps of obtaining at least one sequence of source images ( processing the source images of the at least one sequence ( maintaining, in a database in computer readable form, a set of sequences ( for each sequence ( for each of these selected sequences of reference silhouettes ( computing an estimate of the pose of the articulated object model (
