Inference of Human Postures by Classification of 3D Human Body Shape

چکیده
In this paper we describe an approach for inferring the body posture using a 3D visual-hull constructed from a set of silhouettes. We introduce an appearance-based, view-independent, 3D shape description for classifying and identifying human posture using a support vector machine. The proposed global shape description is invariant to rotation, scale and translation and varies continuously with 3D shape variations. This shape representation is used for training a support vector machine allowing the characterization of human body postures from the computed visual hull. The main advantage of the shape description is its ability to capture human shape variation allowing the identification of body postures across multiple people. The proposed method is illustrated on a set of video streams of body postures captured by four synchronous cameras.

متن کاملInference of 3D Human Body Posture from Multiple Cameras for Vision-Based User Interface
In this paper we presents a silhouette-based method for 3D human body reconstruction from multiple views. The silhouettes are extracted automatically from the captured frames using a background-learning approach. The multiple views are integrated using the epipolar geometry relating the pair of synchronized video streams. The 3D model of the human body is derived from the integration of the med...
متن کاملRecognition of Human Body Posture from a Cloud of 3D Data Points using Wavelet Transform Coefficients
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing a human body posture from a cloud of 3D points acquired by a Human body scanner. Motivated by finding a representation that embodies a high discrimination power between posture classes, a new type of features is suggested, namely, the wavelet transform coefficients (WTC) of the 3D data points distribution projected on the space of the spherical ha...

متن کاملClassification of Human Body Actions by Invariant Body Shape Descriptor
We propose a human body action classifier based on a 3D representation of the body in terms of volumetric coordinates. Features representing body postures are extracted directly from 3D data, making the system inherently insensitive to viewpoint dependence, motion ambiguities and selfocclusions. An Invariant Shape Descriptor of human body is obtained in order to capture only posture-dependent c...
