Abstract
A ground truth engine is described which has a memory holding a plurality of captured images depicting an articulated item. A processor of the engine is configured to access a parameterized, three dimensional (3D) model of the item. An optimizer of the ground truth engine is configured to compute ground truth values of the parameters of the 3D model for individual ones of the captured images, such that the articulated item depicted in the captured image fits the 3D model, the optimizer configured to take into account feedback data from one or more humans, about accuracy of a plurality of the computed values of the parameters.
