*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 17658809 Titled 'CONCURRENT HUMAN POSE ESTIMATES FOR VIRTUAL REPRESENTATION'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes a method for creating virtual representations of human body poses. It involves using sensors to gather data about the positioning of different body parts. This data is then used to estimate the poses of a model representation and a target representation. The method also includes maintaining mapping constraints that relate the model representation to the target representation. A pose optimization machine is trained using training data that has accurate labels for the model representation. The final output is a virtual representation of the human user displayed with the target pose.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method for virtually representing human body poses includes receiving positioning data detailing parameters of one or more body parts of a human user based at least in part on input from one or more sensors. One or more mapping constraints are maintained that relate a model articulated representation to a target articulated representation. A model pose of the model articulated representation and a target pose of the target articulated representation are concurrently estimated based at least in part on the positioning data and the one or more mapping constraints. The previously-trained pose optimization machine is trained with training positioning data having ground truth labels for the model articulated representation. The target articulated representation is output for display with the target pose as a virtual representation of the human user.
