Many existing video surveillance systems use human characteristics like face, height, and gait to identify a person. This paper proposes a human height estimation approach using visual geometry and feature learning that makes an estimate from a video clip of a person. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of the approach. The approach achieved an average percentage final height estimate of 100.59 % (actual height = 100%), better than a previously reported estimate of 98.8% in the literature achieved by another approach. A successful further development of this approach would directly benefit forensic science investigators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
