The user''s five extremities (head, hands and feet) are extracted, labelled and tracked after silhouette segmentation. Since those are the minimal number of points that can be used in order to enable whole body gestural interaction, we will call these features the silhouette''s crucial points. The crucial point candidates are defined as the local maxima of the geodesic distance with respect to the center of gravity of the actor region which lie on the silhouette boundary. In order to disambiguate the selected crucial points into head, left and right foot, left and right hand classes, we propose a Bayesian method that combines a prior human model and additional information extracted from the silhouette using image-morphology techniques. Due to its low computational complexity, the system can run at real-time paces on standard Personal Computers, with an average error rate range... |
