Human Posture Recognition of US Marines for Intelligent Vehicles

Real-time human body posture recognition is of increasing importance to training and operations of the US Marine Corps. This article details the algorithms and implementation of a library that we built to this purpose. It requires prior person detection and then calculates overall stance, torso orientation in four increments and head location and orientation based on individual frames. A syntac...

Human Posture Recognition in Video Sequence

This paper presents a new approach to recognize human postures in video sequences comparing two methods. We first describe these two methods based on 2D appearances. The first one uses projections of moving pixels on the reference axis. The second method decomposes the human silhouette into blocks and learns 2D posture appearances through PCA. Then we use 3D model of posture to make the previou...

Posture Recognition with a 3D Human Model

This paper proposes an approach to recognise human postures in video sequences, which combines a 2D approach with a 3D human model. The 2D approach consists in projections of moving pixels on the reference axis. The 3D model is a realistic articulated human model which is used to obtain reference postures to compare with test postures. We are interested in a set of specific postures which are r...

Human Posture Recognition from an Eigenspace

This paper addresses a novel approach to recognizing several humans' postures from just a single eigenspace and investigates a practical problem associated with dress changes in recognizing human postures automatically employing an eigenspace technique. A single eigenspace is prepared employing an ordinary man’s several orientations and various humans' postures are recognized from it. The dress...
