Articulated Body Pose Estimation (Computer Vision)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about a technology in recording human movement; however, I can't find any reliable sources that talk about this technology. A Google search finds scholarly papers that only make one mention of the technology, not enough coverage to meet WP:N. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 23:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

This article represents a general description of the technologies related to extracting articulated body pose, human body pose included. A google search of terms "articulated body pose estimation" reveals 238,000 and google scholar returns 6180. This appears to satisfy the coverage requirement.

 * Strong keep. Google scholar finds many articles on this subject, well more than enough sources to write a good article. Very few of the first few hits look trivial. Maybe the nominator searched only for the exact phrase in the article's title? That would have been a mistake, I think. —David Eppstein 23:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment If you feel strongly about it, it would be nice if you'd add some good references. MarkBul 00:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The trouble is that there are so many relevant looking references that one couldn't possibly cite them all, and it would take a lot of effort and subject-specific knowledge to work them down to a good representative subset. But an overabundance of sources is not exactly a good reason to delete... —David Eppstein 00:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe the nominator searched only for the exact phrase in the article's title? Sadly, this is exactly what I did. Considering your Google Scholar results, I'll just withdraw the nomination and remember to search a little more throughly before putting an article to AfD.

 * Snowball keep AfD should not be used to prod for references. Numerous Ghits completely contradicts the nom--strongly suggest withdrawal. Dhaluza 20:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I just attended a talk (loosely) on this topic, and while I don't have the expertise to do much with this article, notability seems pretty clear. Very central issue in computer vision. — xDanielx T/C 21:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
