SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR 3D SPACE-DIMENSION BASED IMAGE PROCESSING

摘要

An apparatus for 3D representation of image data, comprising: a structure identifier for identifying structures in motion within image data, and a skeleton insertion unit, which associates three-dimensional skeleton elements with the identified structures. The skeleton elements are able to move with the structures to provide a three-dimensional motion and structural understanding of said image data which can be projected back onto the input data. As well as individual elements, complex bodies can be modeled by complex skeletons having multiple elements. The skeleton elements themselves can be used to identify the complex objects.

1. Apparatus for image based human machine interfacing by estimating a 3D representation of at least a portion of a user based on a set of 2D image data of the at least a portion of the user, comprising:
image processing circuits for: (1) identifying non-rigid structures of the user within said image data; and (2) associating three-dimensional skeleton model elements with identified structures, such that model defined spatial constraints between skeleton model elements and spatial relations between identified non-rigid structures in the 2D image data set are used to fit the model to the 2D image data set and to approximate 3D coordinates of at least one of said non-rigid structures of the non-rigid body.
