We present a multi-camera system for recovering skeleton body pose, by performing real-time volume reconstruction and using a hierarchical stochastic pose search algorithm. Different from many multicamera systems that require a few connected workstations, our system only uses a signle PC to control 8 cameras for synchronous image acquisition. Silhouettes of the 8 cameras are extracted via a color-based background subtraction algorithm, and set as input to the 3D volume reconstruction. Our system can perform real-time volume reconstruction rendered in point clouds, voxels as well as voxels with texturing. The full-body skeleton pose (29-D vector) is then recovered by fitting an articulated body model to the volume sequences. The pose estimation is performed in a hierarchical manner, by using a particle swarm optmization (PSO) based search strategy combined with soft constraints. 3D distance transform (DT) is used for reducing the computing time of objective evaluations. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2011.
