Dynamic body posture tracking using evolutionary optimisation
C. Robertson, Emanuele Trucco, Špela Ivekovič · Electronics Letters · 2005
A novel evolutionary approach for fitting and tracking articulated skeletons to 3D data of upper-body sequences typical of videoconferencing or newscasting is presented. A 24-dimensional skeleton fitting problem is solved with a novel particle swarm optimisation technique designed for simultaneous fitting and tracking. Experiments show good quality fits even in the presence of self-occlusions and partial 3D data.
