Human Upper Body Pose Estimation in Static Images
Imagery data is an important component of multimedia content and appears commonly in the Internet domain, TV programs and movies. Analysis and interpretation of imagery data is therefore an important research area in IMSC. The project focuses on the human body, which is the most interesting object, and aims to develop techniques for estimating the body pose automatically. Potential applications include image understanding, categorization and retrieval. This research also addresses some of the problems in the modeling and learning of human body, including the pose, shape and clothing. The project is currently focusing on the upper body pose.
