Abstract: This study focuses on 3D human motion recovery from a sequence of video frames by using the exemplar-based approach. Conventionally, human pose tracking requires two stages: 1) estimating the 3D pose for a single frame, and 2) using the current estimated pose to predict the pose in the next frame. This usually involves generating a set of possible poses in the prediction state, then optimizing the mapping between the projection of the predicted poses and the 2D image in the subsequent frame. The computational complexity of this approach becomes significant when the search space dimensionality increases. In contrast, we propose a robust and efficient approach for direct motion estimation in video frames by extracting dense appearance and motion features in spatio-temporal space. We exploit three robust descriptors - Histograms of Oriented Gradients, Histograms of Optical Flow and Motion Boundary Histograms in the context of human pose tracking for 3D motion recovery. We conducted comparative analyses using individual descriptors as well as a weighted combination of them. We evaluated our approach using the HumanEva-I dataset and presented both quantitative comparisons and visual results to demonstrate the advantages of our approach. The output is a smooth motion that can be applied in motion retargeting.
