The clothing model fits on a contour of a target clothes generated by background subtraction. After that, each node is relocated to the optimal position to minimize a sum of some energy functions.

The paper proposes a registration algorithm based on pseudo feature point. This algorithm includes two steps. In initial registration, we use pseudo feature points to adjust the position of two original point clouds quickly and roughly at first. However, pseudo feature points sometimes can't fully represent the feature of original point cloud owing to the noise, it leads to a high registration error obtained in initial registration, and then need to use the improved sparse iterative closest point algorithm to adjust two original point clouds again. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can register both non-leafy tree and leafy tree. Compared with iterative closest point registration and sparse iterative closest point registration, the method significantly reduces the registration error by 41.1% and 16.8% respectively under the same number of iterations. The method can also register nonplant point cloud.","PeriodicalId":436332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Nicograph International (NicoInt)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130701941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To support the user in maintaining the correct postures from target poses, we adopt 3D human shape estimation for both the target image and input camera video. Because it is expensive to capture human pose using depth cameras or multiple cameras using conventional approaches, we employ the skinned multi-person linear model of human shape to recover the 3D human pose from 2D images using pose estimation and human mesh recovery methods. We propose a user interface for providing visual guidance based on the estimated target and current human shapes. To clarify the differences between the target and current postures of 3D models, we adopt markers for visualization at ten body parts with color changes. From user studies conducted, the proposed visual feedback system is effective and convenient in performing core training.","PeriodicalId":436332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Nicograph International (NicoInt)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123235266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
