Title
A framework for activity-specific human identification.
Abstract
In this paper we propose a view based approach to recognize humans when engaged in some activity. The width of the outer contour of the binarized silhouette of a walking person is chosen as the image feature. A set of exemplars that occur during an activity cycle is chosen for each individual. Us- ing these exemplars a lower dimensional Frame to Exemplar Distance (FED) vector is generated. A continuous HMM is trained using several such FED vector sequences. This methodology serves to compactly capture structural and dy- namic features that are unique to an individual. The statisti- cal nature of the HMM renders overall robustness to repre- sentation and recognition. Human identification performance of the proposed scheme is found to be quite good when tested on outdoor video sequences collected using surveillance cam- eras.
