New dataset advances 3D pose estimation for prosthesis users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced RSP3D, a novel dataset designed to improve 3D human pose estimation for individuals using running-specific prostheses (RSPs). Existing methods struggle with the complex geometry and dynamic movement of RSPs, as model-based estimators lack prosthesis representation and model-free methods lack kinematic priors. The RSP3D dataset, collected using multi-camera motion capture, features participants with various amputation conditions performing daily and exercise actions. The study defines prosthesis-aware 3D pose estimation and evaluates current methods, proposing a hybrid approach combining model-based joint estimation with model-free shape recovery as a baseline for future research.
