Human Body Segmentation - no Hands

Software
1

Hi,

I’m using the body segmentation to get a cutout of humans to put them in front of virtual backgrounds. Tried several combinations of Depth Modes and Body Tracking Models.
I never get the arms to be segmented correctly. they are always cut halfway of the forearms.

Any recommendations how to improve?

Running on the latest SDK 5.0.3

Best, Jan

Hi Jan,

That’s currently a known limitation of the segmentation mask provided by the body tracking model; the hands are often cut out of the final mask.

You can also try to use the Object detection module (if that’s possible in our workflow), to see if the mask is better for your configuration.

Unfortunately, there is not much else you can do to improve the current implementation. Another solution might be to compute the mask from scratch using the point cloud.

Thanks @BenjaminV for confirming. I will try with Object detection and see if it gets better.
