Abstract(in English) Segmentation of an articulated object is one of the fundamental techniques of computer vision, and it can be applied to human body structure analysis and motion measurement. In this report, we propose a method that generates the contour model of each link element of an articulated object by using the hierarchical part decomposition method of body contour. The hierarchical part decomposition method can divide the body region into characteristic elements without any model of link parameters based on distribution of high-curvature points of the object's contour in the video sequence. As an example, we apply the proposed method to measurement of kip motion under real environment.
