Title
Silhouette-based probabilistic 2D human motion estimation for real-time applications
Abstract
This paper presents a novel technique for 2D human motion estimation using a single non calibrated camera. The user's five crucial human features (head, hands and feet) are ex- tracted, labeled and tracked, after silhouette segmentation. The crucial points candidates are defined as the local max- ima of the geodesic distance with respect to the center of gravity of the actor region (silhouette) following the silhou- ette boundary. Selected crucial points are then classified as head, hands or feet using a probabilistic approach weighted by a prior human model. The system can run at 50Hz paces on standard Personal Computers.
