POSE ESTIMATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS TRAINED USING MOTION CAPTURE DATA

A training system includes: a neural network model configured to determine three-dimensional coordinates of joints, respectively, representing poses of animals in images, where the neural network model is trained using a first training dataset including: images including animals; and coordinates of joints of the animals in the images, respectively; and a training module configured to, after the training of the neural network model using the first training dataset, train the neural network model using a second training dataset including motion capture data, where the motion capture data does not include images of animals and includes measured coordinates at points, respectively, on animals.
