FILTERED IMAGES FOR 3D BODY TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17643822 titled 'FILTERED IMAGES FOR 3D BODY TRACKING

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a system that processes infrared (IR) images and depth maps to generate 2D and 3D poses of a subject. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system receives an IR image and a depth map associated with the image.
  • It applies one or more filters to the IR image based on a set of parameters.
  • Using the filtered IR image, it generates a 2D pose estimation for the subject.
  • The system then correlates the 2D pose with the depth map to generate a 3D pose estimation.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Motion tracking and analysis in sports and fitness training.
  • Gesture recognition for human-computer interaction.
  • Biometric identification and security systems.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
  • Healthcare and rehabilitation monitoring.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate and real-time estimation of human poses in both 2D and 3D.
  • Overcoming limitations of traditional RGB-based pose estimation methods.
  • Handling occlusions and low-light conditions more effectively.
  • Enabling more immersive and interactive experiences in various domains.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability in pose estimation.
  • Enhanced performance in challenging environments.
  • Compatibility with existing IR imaging systems.
  • Potential for real-time applications.
  • Versatility in different industries and use cases.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a system receiving an infrared (IR) image, receiving a depth map associated with the IR image, applying one or more filters to the IR image based on a set of parameters, generating a 2D pose for a subject based on the filtered IR image, and generating a 3D pose by correlating the 2D pose to the depth map.
