Abstract

A method for processing data includes receiving a depth map of a scene containing a humanoid form. Respective descriptors are extracted from the depth map based on the depth values in a plurality of patches distributed in respective positions over the humanoid form. The extracted descriptors are matched to previously-stored descriptors in a database. A pose of the humanoid form is estimated based on stored information associated with the matched descriptors.
