Abstract
Methods and systems for constructing a three-dimensional (3D) model of a user in a virtual environment for full body virtual reality (VR) applications are described. The method includes receiving an image of the user captured using an RGB camera; detecting a body bounding box associated with the user using a first trained neural network; determining a segmentation map of the user, based on the body bounding box; determining a two-dimensional (2D) contour of the user from the segmentation map; forming a 3D extrusion model by extruding the 2D contour; and constructing the 3D model of the user in the virtual environment by applying a geometric transformation to the 3D extrusion model. Applications of full body VR include physical training and fitness sessions, games, control of computing devices, manipulation and display of data, interactive social media with VR, and the like.
