Tomislav,
The replies you received from BIOMECH-L readers citing various
ambiguities of the orientation or position of "sticks" with respect to
the image plane of a single camera left out the simple observation that
the human body is not a stick. While self occlusions of the human body
are annoying, in many cases they are not fatal computationally as you
can fill in the data holes. Clinical gait analysts may reject data
filling or extrapolation methods out of hand but you may have a
different audience in mind.
I suggest you have a look at methods which use additional data to fit
the projection of the human body pose and movement to a 3D pose. This
is typically called "markerless video based motion capture". Here are
some references from a couple of years ago, I'm sure the field has
advanced since then.
