최근 영상감시 분야에서는 영상에서 움직이는 사람을 탐지하고, 탐지된 사람의 행위를 분석하는 방식에 딥러닝 기반 학습방법이 적용되기 시작했다. 이러한 지능형 영상분석 기술을 적용할 수 있는 분야 중 하나인 인간 행위 인식은 객체를 탐지하고 탐지된 객체의 행위를 인식하기 위해 신체 키포인트를 검출 하는 과정을 거치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 RGB-D 정보를 이용한 객체 탐지 기반의 신체 키포인트 검출 방법을 제시한다. 먼저, 두 대의 카메라로 생성된 색상정보와 깊이정보를 이용하여 이동하는 객체를 배경으로부터 분할하여 탐지한다. RGB-D 정보를 이용하여 탐지된 객체의 영역을 재조정하여 생성된 입력 데이터를 한 사람의 자세 추정을 위한 Convolutional Pose Machines(CPM)에 적용한다. CPM을 이용하여 한 사람당 14개의 신체부위에 대한 신념 지도(Belief Map)를 생성하고, 신념 지도를 기반으로 신체 키포인트를 검출한다. 이와 같은 방법은 키포인트를 검출할 객체에 대한 정확한 영역을 제공하게 되며, 개별적인 신체 키포인트의 검출을 통하여 단일 신체 키포인트 검출에서 다중 신체 키포인트 검출로 확장 할 수 있다. 향후, 검출된 키포인트를 이용하여 인간 자세 추정을 위한 모델을 생성할 수 있으며 인간 행위 인식 분야에 기여 할 수 있다.

In recent years, video surveillance research has been able to recognize various behaviors of pedestrians and analyze the overall situation of objects by combining image analysis technology and deep learning method. Human Activity Recognition (HAR), which is important issue in video surveillance research, is a field to detect abnormal behavior of pedestrians in CCTV environment. In order to recognize human behavior, it is necessary to detect the human in the image and to estimate the pose from the detected human. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for 2D Human Pose Estimation based on object detection using RGB-D information. By adding depth information to the RGB information that has some limitation in detecting object due to lack of topological information, we can improve the detecting accuracy. Subsequently, the rescaled region of the detected object is applied to ConVol.utional Pose Machines (CPM) which is a sequential prediction structure based on ConVol.utional Neural Network. We utilize CPM to generate belief maps to predict the positions of keypoint representing human body parts and to estimate human pose by detecting 14 key body points. From the experimental results, we can prove that the proposed method detects target objects robustly in occlusion. It is also possible to perform 2D human pose estimation by providing an accurately detected region as an input of the CPM. As for the future work, we will estimate the 3D human pose by mapping the 2D coordinate information on the body part onto the 3D space. Consequently, we can provide useful human behavior information in the research of HAR.

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) which localizes the human body joints becomes a high potential for high-level applications in the field of computer vision. The main challenges of HPE in real-time are occlusion, illumination change and diversity of pose appearance. The single RGB image is fed into HPE framework in order to reduce the computation cost by using depth-independent device such as a common camera, webcam, or phone cam. However, HPE based on the single RGB is not able to solve the above challenges due to inherent characteristics of color or texture. On the other hand, depth information which is fed into HPE framework and detects the human body parts in 3D coordinates can be usefully used to solve the above challenges. However, the depth information-based HPE requires the depth-dependent device which has space constraint and is cost consuming. Especially, the result of depth information-based HPE is less reliable due to the requirement of pose initialization and less stabilization of frame tracking. Therefore, this paper proposes a new method of HPE which is robust in estimating self-occlusion. There are many human parts which can be occluded by other body parts. However, this paper focuses only on head self-occlusion. The new method is a combination of the RGB image-based HPE framework and the depth information-based HPE framework. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method by COCO Object Keypoint Similarity library. By taking an advantage of RGB image-based HPE method and depth information-based HPE method, our HPE method based on RGB-D achieved the mAP of 0.903 and mAR of 0.938. It proved that our method outperforms the RGB-based HPE and the depth-based HPE.
