Abstract  This paper introduces a novel method for estimating the skeleton proportions of a human figure from monocular data. The proposed system will first automatically extract the key frames and recover the perspective camera model from the 2D data. The human skeleton proportions are then estimated from the key frames using the recovered camera model without posture reconstruction. The proposed method is tested to be simple, fast and produce satisfactory results for the input data. The human model with estimated proportions can be used in future research involving human body modeling or human motion reconstruction.
