Segmentation of Human Body Image
Keywords:
Adaptive Skin Detection, Anthropometric Constraints, Human Body Segmentation, And Multilevel Image SegmentationAbstract
Human body image segmentation is a difficult process that can use in important application,like scene understanding and activity recognition. In order to deal with the highly dimensional pose space, scene complexity, and various human appearances, the majority of have being works require computationally composite training and template matching processes. We have to converse a bottom-up methodology for segmentation of human bodies from single images, in the case of almost upright poses in cluttered environments. The position, dimensions, and colour of the face are used for the localization of the human body, construction of the models for the upper and lower body according to anthropomertric constraints, and approximation of the skin colour. Different levels of segmentation granularity are combined to extract the pose with highest ability. The segments that belong to the human body arise through the joint approximation of the upper and lower during the body part search phases, which make easy the need for exact shape matching.
