COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18469463 titled 'COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer program that analyzes video images to identify body parts and generate posture information about a person.

  • Acquiring a video image with a person present
  • Identifying positional information of body parts
  • Generating components indicating sum and difference of positional information
  • Training a model to output posture information of another person based on the generated components

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various fields such as healthcare for monitoring patient movements, sports training for analyzing athletes' postures, and security for detecting suspicious behavior based on body language.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately analyzing and interpreting body movements and postures from video images, which can be challenging and time-consuming for humans to do manually.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy and efficiency in analyzing body movements, enabling real-time feedback and monitoring of posture, and enhancing security measures by detecting abnormal behaviors.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of video surveillance systems that can automatically detect and alert security personnel to suspicious behaviors based on body posture analysis.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing computer vision systems that analyze body movements and gestures, but may not specifically focus on generating posture information based on positional differences of body parts in video images.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle variations in lighting conditions that may affect the accuracy of body part identification in video images?

The technology may use advanced image processing algorithms to adapt to different lighting conditions and enhance the accuracy of body part identification.

Can this technology be integrated with existing motion capture systems to improve the accuracy of posture analysis in real-time applications?

Yes, this technology could potentially be integrated with motion capture systems to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of posture analysis in real-time applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to execute processing including: acquiring a video image in which a first person appears; identifying positional information about each of two body parts that form a pair among body parts of the first person in the video image, by analyzing the acquired video image; generating a first component that indicates a sum of the identified positional information about each body part; generating a third component that indicates an absolute value of a second component that indicates a difference in the identified positional information about each body part; and training a model that outputs posture information about a second person from a video image in which the second person appears, based on the generated first component and the generated third component.
