چکیده

We describe a method to detect instances of a walking person carrying an object seen from a stationary camera. We take a correspondence-free motion-based recognition approach, that exploits known shape and periodicity cues of the human silhouette shape. Specifically, we subdivide the binary silhouette into four horizontal segments, and analyze the temporal behavior of the bounding box width over each segment. We posit that the periodicity and amplitudes of these time series satisfy certain criteria for a natural walking person, and deviations therefrom are an indication that the person might be carrying an object. The method is tested on 41 360x240 color outdoor sequences of people walking and carrying objects at various poses and camera viewpoints. A correct detection rate of 85% and a false alarm rate of 12% are obtained.

Applying mean shift and motion detection approaches to hand tracking in sign language

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

Application of Combined Local Object Based Features and Cluster Fusion for the Behaviors Recognition and Detection of Abnormal Behaviors

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for behaviors recognition and detection of certain types of abnormal behaviors, capable of achieving high detection rates on a variety of real-life scenes. The new proposed approach here is a combination of the location based methods and the object based ones. First, a novel approach is formulated to use optical flow and binary motion video as the loc...

Motion detection by a moving observer using Kalman filter and neural network in soccer robot

In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...
