Can we perceive the three-dimensional posture of the whole human body solely from extremely low-resolution thermal images (e.g., $8\times8$-pixels)?
This paper investigates the possibility of this challenging task.
Thermal images capture only the intensity of radiation, making them less likely to contain personal information such as facial or clothing features.
Thermal sensors are commonly integrated into daily-use appliances, such as air conditioners, automatic doors, and elevators.
