Abstract
In one embodiment, a system accesses a probability model associated with an image depicting a body. The probability model includes probability values associated with regions of the image and each probability value represents a probability of the associated region of the image containing a particular body part. The system selects a subset (e.g., 3) of the probability values based on a comparison of the probability values. For each selected probability value, the system identifies surrounding probability values surrounding the selected probability value and computes a probabilistic maximum based on the selected probability value and the surrounding probability values. Each probabilistic maximum is associated with a location within the regions associated with the selected probability value and the surrounding probability values. One of the locations associated with the probabilistic maxima is then selected, which represents a determined location in the image that corresponds to the particular body part in the image.
