Abstract
This paper demonstrates how latency tolerant parallel particle swarm optimization can be used to achieve real-time full-body motion tracking. The tracking is realized using multi-view images and articulated 3D model with a truncated cones-based representation of the body. Each CPU core computes fitness score for a single camera. On each node the algorithm uses the current temporary best fitness value without waiting for the global best one from cooperating sub-swarms. The algorithm runs at 10 Hz on eight PC nodes connected by 1 GigE.
