Description
Summary:This research work proposes a joint detection approach to detect locations of body joint automatically by applying a priori knowledge of body proportion. The joint detection approach does not attempt to detect each lower limb of a human, so it can detect the body joints even from self-occluded silhouettes or those occluded by apparel (long blouses or baggy trousers) or bags (handbag or rucksack). In this research work, an improved perspective correction technique to normalize oblique-view walking sequences to side-view plane has been developed. The silhouettes from oblique-view walking sequences are vertical and horizontal adjusted to fit the sideview.
