PURPOSE: A communication method using a virtual object and a communication system are provided to reproduce the motion of a transmitter by enabling a receiver to user an index value. CONSTITUTION: A transmitting device receives an image including the motion of a transmitter(210). The transmitting device extracts the silhouette of the transmitter by separating a background image from an inputted image(220). The transmitting device estimates an index of a pose corresponding to the motion of the transmitter by selecting a pose similar with the extracted silhouette from a test image by using a stored data structure(230). The transmitting device transmits a message including the index of the estimated pose to a receiver(240). [Reference numerals] (210) Inputting an image which takes the behavior of a transmitter; (220) Extracting the silhouette of the transmitter by separating a background from the input image; (230) Selecting the most similar pose to the extracted silhouette, and estimating the index of the pose corresponding to the behavior of the transmitter by using a data structure in which a plurality of representative poses automatically generated from a demonstration image including the behaviors of humans; (240) Generating a message including the index of the estimated pose, and transmitting the message to a receiver; (AA) Start; (BB) End |
