Claim One:
1. A method for identifying and tracking an object from two-dimensional data pictorially representing said object, comprising: receiving, from a sensor, at least one set of said two-dimensional data pictorially representing said object, wherein said at least one set corresponds to one temporal instance and said two-dimensional data is generated by the sensor; processing, via a computing device, said at least one set of said two-dimensional data using at least one tracker-identifier for providing an output signal including a type of said object, at least one of a position and an orientation of said object in three-dimensions, and an articulation change and a shape change of said object in said three dimensions, wherein said type of the object is determined using a spatial model description of said object; and generating synthetic object images, via said processing, by selecting points on a surface of a four-dimensional quaternion hyperhemisphere using a predetermined method.
