Poses to calibrate & acquire
Different poses are used in different contexts for computers to identify specific objects in an image, and to determine each object's position and orientation relative to a coordinate system. The combination of position and orientation is referred to as the pose of an object.
In motion capture, the body-to-be-captured is held still for a certain amount of time to allow the software to detect the position and orientation of body-parts. Systems are habitually expecting two-legged, upright, singular bodies.
