we acquire the
3D locations of 20 skeletal joints
which comprise hip center, spine,
shoulder center, head,
L/ R shoulder, L/ R elbow, L/ R wrist, L/ R hand, L/ R hip, L/ R knee, L/
R angle and L/ R foot.
we compute
our histogram based representation of postures
from 12 of the 20 joints, including
head, L/ R elbow, L/ R hands, L/ R knee, L/ R
feet, hip
center and L/ R hip. We take the hip center as the
center of
the reference coordinate system, and
define the x-direction
according to L/ R hip. The rest 9 joints are used to compute
the 3D spatial histogram.
