Vision-Based System for Human Detection and Tracking in Indoor Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a vision-based system for human detection and tracking in indoor environment using a static camera. The proposed method is based on object recognition in still images combined with methods using temporal information from the video. Doing that, we improve the performance of the overall system and reduce the task complexity. We first use background subtraction to limit the search space of the classifier. The segmentation is realized by modeling each background pixel by a single Gaussian model. As each connected component detected by the background subtraction potentially corresponds to one person, each blob is independently tracked. The tracking process is based on the analysis of connected components position and interest points tracking. In order to know the nature of various objects that could be present in the scene, we use multiple cascades of boosted classifiers based on This work was made possible with the financial support of the Regional Council of Le Centre, the French Industry Ministry within the CAPTHOM project of the Competitiveness Pole S2E2.Haar-like filters. We also present in this article a wide evaluation of this system based on a large set of videos.

Simulation Interface for Gesture-Based Remote Control of a Surgical Lighting Arm

“…Based on Haar features, this technique has been successfully used for various real-time applications such as face [15] or pedestrian [16] detection. Its allows to reduce processing times : in situations where no hand is present in the image, unnecessary image processing is skipped; otherwise, further processing steps are applied only on the identified subframe.…”

Human Body Pose Interpretation and Classification for Social Human-Robot Interaction

“…There has been a lot of previous work utilizing various sensors and approaches for identification of human bodies, i.e., [21,22], or body parts and their respective poses, i.e., . In addition to the literature review that is presented here, readers are also referred to the comprehensive literature surveys presented in [44][45][46].…”
