Abstract
In the traditional gait skeleton model, the fixed length proportions among different bones cause the loss of model personality, and the shoulder and hip points that are blocked by the body are difficult to be extracted. For those problems, a method based on the spatial and temporal fusion between vision and tactility is proposed, by which a equal proportion 3D gait skeleton model can be restructured in the camera coordinate system accurately through a single-frame image. In the geometric analysis process, some logical assumptions are proposed according to human anatomy and the laws of human movement, and an effective method is proposed for the extraction of thigh slope. The experimental result shows that the consistent equal proportion models, in which single bone length error is eventually controlled within\(\pm \,5\,{\text {mm}}\), can be extracted in different position under the premise of rapidity with the aid of this method. The extracted shoulder and hip points also meet the real human body skeleton structure, which lays the foundation for the integrity and rationality of the entire skeletal model.
