Abstract

Human motion analysis is receiving increasing at-tention from computer vision researchers. This inter-est is motivated by a wide spectrum of applications, such as athletic performance analysis, surveillance, man-machine interfaces, content-based image storage and retrieval, and video conferencing. This paper gives an overview of the various tasks involved in motion analysis of the human body. We focus on three major areas related to interpreting human motion: 1) motion analysis involving human body parts, 2) tracking of human motion wing single or multiple cameras, and 8) recognizing human activities from image sequences. Motion analysis of human body parts involves the low-level segmentation of the human body into segments connected by joints, and recovers the 3D structure of the human body using its 20 projections over a se-quence of images. Ilfacking human motion wing a single or multiple cameras focuses on higher-level pro-cessing, in which moving humans are tracked without identifying specific parts of the body structure. After successfully matching the moving human image)?om one frame to another in image sequences, understand-ing the human movements or activities comes natu-rally, which leads to our discussion of recognizing hu-man activities. The review is illustrated by ezamples. 1
