Remarks on Human Body Posture Estimation From Silhouette Image

Abstract

This paper proposes a human body posture estimation method using neural network. The input feature vector of the neural network is composed with the result of analyzing a human silhouette extracted from camera image and the output vector of the neural network indicates the 2D coordinates of the human body's significant points. The proposed method is implemented on a personal computer and runs in real-time. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed method for estimating human body postures.
