| Abstract(in English) | This report proposes a new real-time method that estimates the posture of a human from a thermal image acquired by an infrared camera regardless of background and lighting conditions. Distance transformation is performed for the human body area extracted from the thresholded thermal image so that the center of gravity of body is calculated. After the orientation of the upper half of the body is obtained from calculating the moment of inertia, significant points such as the top of the head, the tips of the hands and foot are heuristically located. In addition, the elbow and knee positions are estimated from the siginificant points using a genetic algorithm based learning procedure. This method does not require to be put any type of device on a body and it can be applied for arbitrary person. |
