SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING A THREE DIMENSIONAL POSE OF ONE OR MORE PERSONS IN A SCENE

A system for estimating a three dimensional pose of one or more persons in a scene is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one camera, the at least one camera configured to capture an image of the scene; and a data processor including at least one hardware component, the data processor configured to execute computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions comprising instructions for: (i) receiving the image of the scene from the at least one camera; (ii) extracting features from the image of the scene for providing inputs to a convolutional neural network; (iii) generating one or more volumetric heatmaps using the convolutional neural network; and (iv) applying a maximization function to the one or more volumetric heatmaps to obtain a three dimensional pose of one or more persons in the scene.
