Abstract

Human pose estimation has been actively studied for decades. While traditional approaches rely on 2d data like images or videos, the development of Time-of-Flight cameras and other depth sensors created new opportunities to advance the field. We give an overview of recent approaches that perform human motion analysis which includes depth-based and skeleton-based activity recognition, head pose estimation, facial feature detection, facial performance capture, hand pose estimation and hand gesture recognition. While the focus is on approaches using depth data, we also discuss traditional image based methods to provide a broad overview of recent developments in these areas.
