Hi Cesar,
Thank you for your ideas.
But I can neither use a depth camera nor assume that users wear long sleeves shirts. The color-based segmentation cannot be relied on as the background can be any color.
One possible way is to use Machine Learning : feed in some marked videos and let the Genetic Programming(GP) algorithms to train the classifiers. And I will let them run around 300
generations and pick up the most accurate classifier.
But do you have a GP trainer in this framework? Or do AForge.net Emgu or OpenCV have it?
Cheers,
Winston
