Tracking Human Body Parts Using Particle Filters Constrained by Human Biomechanics

چکیده
In this paper, a novel framework for visual tracking of human body parts is introduced. The presented approach demonstrates the feasibility of recovering human poses with data from a single uncalibrated camera using a limb tracking system based on a 2D articulated model. It is constrained only by biomechanical knowledge about human bipedal motion, instead on relying on constraints linked to a specific activity or camera view. These characteristics make our approach suitable for real visual surveillance applications. Experiments on HumanEva I & II datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on tracking human lower body parts. Moreover, a detail comparison with current tracking methods is presented.

Particle Filter-based Multi-part Human Tracking with Failure Adjustment in Video Sequences
The study presents a human tracking system in video sequences. To track the target, we first detect humans in a video according to a Gaussian background model. We then track the humans by using color histogram as the features and using particle filters as the tracking kernel. Since a human is not a rigid object, his appearance may be greatly affected by his motion. In our applications, human bo...
متن کاملTracking Human Body Pose on a Learned Smooth Space
Particle filtering is a popular method used in systems for tracking human body pose in video. One key difficulty in using particle filtering is caused by the curse of dimensionality: generally a very large number of particles is required to adequately approximate the underlying pose distribution in a high-dimensional state space. Although the number of degrees of freedom in the human body is qu...
متن کاملMultiple Persons Tracking with Data Fusion of Multiple Cameras and Floor Sensors Using Particle Filters
Successful multi-target tracking requires locating the targets and labeling their identities. For the multi-target tracking systems, the latter becomes more challenging when the targets frequently interact with each other. In this paper, we propose a method for multiple persons tracking using multiple cameras and floor sensors. Our method estimates 3D positions of human body and head, and label...
متن کاملHuman Motion Tracking using a Color-Based Particle Filter Driven by Optical Flow
In this paper, we present a new formulation for the problem of human motion tracking in video. Tracking is still a challenging problem when strong appearance changes occur as in videos of human in motion. Most trackers rely on a predefined template or on a training dataset to achieve detection and tracking. Therefore they are not efficient to track objects which appearance is not known in advan...
متن کامل3d Human Tracking with Gaussian Process Annealed
We present an approach for tracking human body parts with prelearned motion models in 3D using multiple cameras. We use an annealed particle filter to track the body parts and a Gaussian Process Dynamical Model in order to reduce the dimensionality of the problem, increase the tracker's stability and learn the motion models. We also present an improvement for the weighting function that helps t...
