POSE CALCULATING APPARATUS AND METHOD

A pose calculating apparatus and method are provided. The pose calculating apparatus receives a plurality of real-time images and a plurality of inertial measurement parameters corresponding to at least one inertial sensor worn by a user. The pose calculating apparatus determines a pose calculating mode corresponding to each of a plurality of body regions of the user based on the real-time images and the inertial measurement parameters, wherein the pose calculating mode corresponds to a static mode or a motion mode. The pose calculating apparatus calculates a pose corresponding to each of the body regions based on the pose calculating mode corresponding to each of the body regions.
