由於主動式深度攝影機 (如:微軟Kinect攝影機) 的技術突破,可以同時提供色彩影像、深度資訊及骨架特徵,人體物件的分割比傳統2D電腦視覺技術更為精確。本研究的目的便是採用主動式深度攝影機,藉以開發一套可以辨識五種特定人體姿勢 (即無姿勢、生氣、高興、懊惱、無奈) 的自動人體姿勢辨識系統。系統主要步驟包含:(a)深度影像前處理;(b)骨架特徵擷取;(c)定格姿勢偵測;(d)姿勢估測及辨識。我們蒐集一組資料庫作為系統訓練及測試之依據。初步的研究結果顯示,本系統可以達到88%的整體辨識率。總結而言,本系統在人體姿勢的自動辨識具有潛力,因此可以用來增進人機互動。
Because of the technical breakthrough of active depth cameras (e.g., Microsoft Kinect cameras) that can simultaneously offer color image, depth information, and skeletal features, segmentation of human objects has been relatively accurate than in conventional 2D computer vision techniques. Using such an active depth camera, the objective of this study is aimed to develop an Automatic Human-pose Recognition System for five specific human-poses (i.e., no pose, angry, happy, annoyed, and helpless). The man processes include: (a) Depth Image Preprocessing; (b) Skeletal Feature Extraction; (c) Freeze Pose Detection; (d) Pose Estimation and Recognition. A database was collected for the system training and testing. Our preliminary results indicate that our system could achieve an overall detection rate of 88%. In conclusion, our system could be potentially used for automatic recognition of human-poses, thus leading to enhance human-computer interaction.
