I already have the keypoint available from human pose estimation - head, shoulders, hips, knee etc. Now I need to know the human body's orientation, basically getting the angle at which the human body is pointing at. I have already done human head pose and obtained orientation using world coordinates for the same. Are world coordinates available for human body, so that same approach can be used as used in head pose?

@LBerger I would have but guven the hardware openpose is slow for my use case. So I have used another project for my use case. The project gives me landmarks for various body joints quite fast. For my use case I am planning to ignore elbow and hand landmarks as they will move around but for a walking person, obtaining orientation should not be an issue using hrad, shoulder, hip landmarks using solvepnp, if only I had approx 3D world coordinates for these particular joints.

Headpose is done through face detection and landmarks. Then getting pitch, yaw and roll. There are lots of blogs that explain how to do it. The base is to compare the facial landmarks obtained and comparing it to universal standard facial model. I need similar model but for full human body.
