Microsoft Research Develops Real-Time Human Pose Estimation for Kinect
In 2011, Jamie Shotton and colleagues at Microsoft Research Cambridge published a method for real-time human pose estimation from a single depth image, using randomised decision forests trained on synthetic data. The technique powered the skeleton-tracking feature of Microsoft Kinect and was presented at CVPR 2011.
