Benchmarking analysis of human pose estimation solutions for virtual television sets
Article No.: 3, Pages 1 - 10
Abstract
In recent years, the use of virtual television sets (VTS) has grown in traditional TV productions, online broadcasting shows and streaming for both professional and amateur applications. Nevertheless, the interaction between actor or television anchors and the virtual scene is very limited because human body tracking is a complex problem that requires expensive equipment and high-performance software to be developed in real time. On the other hand, Human Pose Estimation (HPE) by low-cost devices, has been a hot topic of research due to its wide range of applications from sport visualization, security, medicine and so on. The objective of this paper is to determine if the modern technologies of human pose estimation can be used as interface between users, actors, presenters or speakers and a scene in a VTS. A comprehensive comparative of the different technologies is developed to determine those solutions that can be used in VTS for broadcasting and streaming, allowing to improve the communicative capacities of the modern VTS.
