Abstract

There have been studying many researches to detect human body and to track one with increasing interest on human and computer interaction. In this paper, we propose the algorithm that automatically extracts joints, linked points of human body, using the ratio of human body under single camera and tracks object. The proposed method gets the difference images of the grayscale images and ones of the hue images between input image and background image. Then the proposed method composes the results, splits background and foreground, and extracts objects. Also we standardize the ratio of human body using face' length and the measurement of human body and automatically extract joints of the object using the ratio and the corner points of the silhouette of object. After then, we tract the joints' movement using block-matching algorithm. The proposed method is applied to test video to be acquired through a camera and the result shows that the proposed method automatically extracts joints and effectively tracks the detected joints.

인간과 컴퓨터의 상호작용이 관심분야로 대두되면서 인체를 검출하고 추적하는 기술들에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단일카메라의 입력으로 인체의 비율을 이용하여 인체 부위를 연결하는 조인트를 자동으로 검출하고 객체를 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안방법은 입력영상과 배경영상의 회색조 영상과 색상 영상의 차영상을 구한 후 그 결과를 결합하여 배경과 전경을 분리하고 객체를 추출한다. 또한 얼굴길이와 인체 각 영역의 측정값을 이용하여 인체 비율을 모델링하고 추출된 객체 실루엣의 코너점과 모델링된 비율을 이용해 객체의 조인트를 자동으로 추출한다. 추출된 조인트의 움직임을 블록매칭 기법으로 객체의 움직임을 추적한다. 제안방법을 카메라로 입력되는 실험동영상에 적용한 결과 인체의 실루엣과 조인트를 자동 검출하며 추출된 조인트 또한 효율적으로 추적되었다.
