Abstract
A method of tracking a target includes receiving an observed depth image of the target from a source and obtaining a posed model of the target. The model is rasterized into a synthesized depth image, and the pose of the model is adjusted based, at least in part, on differences between the observed depth image and the synthesized depth image.
Claims19
A method of electronic gaming, the method comprising;
- representing a human game player with a machine-readable model configured for adjustment into a plurality of different poses;
- receiving an observed depth image of the human game player from a source;
- rasterizing the machine-readable model of the human game player into a synthesized depth image;
- adjusting a pose of the machine-readable model based, at least in part, on differences between the observed depth image and the synthesized depth image;
- and
- using the pose of the machine-readable model, as adjusted, as a parameter to affect an element of game play.
