Abstract
Computer animation involving monocular pose prediction is disclosed. A plurality of candidate pose sequences of a three-dimensional model of an animation character is generated such that each candidate pose of each sequence has a segmentation map that matches a segmentation map of a corresponding character derived from a corresponding frame of a video. A distance between candidate poses at each time step is maximized. An optimum pose sequence is determined and used to generate a corresponding sequence of frames of animation.
