Abstract

Skeleton construction and pose estimation through two-dimensional (2D) images may have reduced estimation accuracy due to truncation and occlusion that may occur within the image. In this paper, a 3D model is created through NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) based Instant-NGP (Neural Graphics Primitives), a skeleton is constructed, and the artificial intelligence is trained to perform pose estimation in a 2D image. Create a 3D model by performing image view synthesis using Instant-NGP on images taken from 4 or more different angles. After that, we use DeepLabCut to build joint coordinates and skeletons. By learning the built skeleton to artificial intelligence, a pre-trained AI model is created. Using an artificial intelligence model learned in advance through a 3D model, joint coordinate recognition in a 2D image, skeleton construction, posture estimation, and classification are carried out. Through the test image dataset, the posture estimation and classification accuracy of the artificial intelligence model trained in advance with the 3D model and the artificial intelligence model learned using the existing 2D image are compared.
