Definition
The task of determining the position and orientation of objects or bodies in images or video.
Detailed Explanation
Pose estimation involves detecting keypoints and determining their spatial relationships to infer position and orientation. For human pose estimation this means identifying joint locations and body part configurations. Modern approaches typically use deep learning models trained on large datasets of annotated poses.
Use Cases
1. Human motion analysis 2. Animation and gaming 3. Sports performance analysis 4. Robot guidance
