Design, Development and Testing of Vision Algorithms for the Detection of Human Shapes

摘要

This report presents the research work developed under contract number N68171-01-M-5857 with the aim of localizing human shapes in day-light images. First an outlook of the problem is given, along with the description of the chosen approach and motivation, then the schedule of the activities performed during the research period is presented. The main part of this report is centered on the description of the algorithm developed. A final section discusses the results obtained in different conditions and scenarios, giving the qualitative and quantitative performance achieved on sample sequence of images. The publications resulting from this research are also included.
