A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A HUMAN IN AN IMAGE

摘要

Disclosed is a system for detecting a human in an image. An image capturing module captures the image using a motion sensing device, wherein the image comprises a plurality of pixels having gray scale information and a depth information. The image capturing module further segments the image into a plurality of segments based upon the depth information. An analysis module performs a connected component analysis on a segment in order to segregate the one or more objects into noisy objects and candidate objects. The analysis module further eliminates the noisy objects from the segment using a vertical pixel projection technique. A feature extraction module extracts a plurality of features from the candidate objects. An object determination module evaluates the plurality of features using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) model in order to determine the candidate objects as one of the human or non-human.
