Tracking the 3D motion of agile animals in the wild will enable new insight into the design of robotic controllers. However, in-field 3D pose estimation of high-speed wildlife such as cheetahs is still a challenge [1]. In this work, we aim to solve two of these challenges: unnatural pose estimates during highly occluded sequences and synchronization error between multi-view data. We expand on our ...
