human tracking
Chee Sing Wai
my final year project using Matlab ver. R2006a.
Most of the object detection and tracking part were almost
completed base on background modeling technique and
background subtraction frame by frame.
The part that I'm facing problems now is to do the human
recognition to identify the object tracked is human or not.
As I'm new to this subject, can anyone please help in
recommend which technique should be used and how?

Could be very difficult. Could be a Ph.D. project instead of just a
simple final year project. So you have objects moving in your video
and you need to detect whether they are human versus car, truck, dog,
bird, etc. You better be able to make a lot of assumptions or it's
going to be very difficult. For example, let's say you have a small
blob moving across the top of your frame. How do you know it's a bird
(or a plane) and not a human that is far away? You can't look for
skin color because the person could be walking away and not showing
any skin. Maybe you can assume that anything moving in a certain zone
is human (say along a sidewalk) and anything moving in another zone
(say, the street) is a vehicle. You might say that vehicles move
faster than humans but of course we know that this is not always the
case. Maybe you could do some sort of shape recognition but this is
going to be very hard. Maybe you could pick out people based on the
size of the blob, but this assumes everything is about the same
distance from the camera. For a simple example, if you were looking
at a crosswalk with a limited field of view that you had to monitor,
then you could assume that if its size is in a certain range, and its
speed is in a certain range, then it might be human. Maybe you could
post a few frames (on a web site somewhere), list your known
parameters, restrictions, and assumptions, and then ask the smart
folks over in sci.image.processing for tips.

Thanks ImageAnalyst for the reply.
Then lets say that my scope is only limited to systems such
as indoor surveillance system (e.g. a surveillance camera
watching a room or corridor..) and I am only tracking a
single moving object. Then how well will the outcome be if I
determine whether the moving object is human or not base on
the size of the blob?
Haha.. actually I have been trying to do this using some
sort of shape or pattern recognition but just like you have
mentioned, it is quite difficult to do it due to lacked of
knowledge and examples in this field. It would be great if
anyone can provides some useful links or examples regarding
the related field. Thanks

Chee Sing Wai:
What other single object do you expect to see moving through the
room? A dog? A robot? A paper airplane? I would think in a very
simplified and controlled final year project where you can control
what goes through the room, then doing it based on size should do very
well.
Here's a useful link for you:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=human+tracking+surveillance
Looks like there's lots of good stuff there.
Good luck,

I see. I think I have some idea already on what should I
proceed on.
Thank you very much for your post. It's been pleasure
talking to you.

my final year project is similar to your but mine is an object detection and
tracking using matlab
can you please tell me how can i detect object in a video ( this is my
problem) and can you send to me your source code
with best wishes
Chee Sing Wai
perhaps you could tell me(or others in this matlab central
community) about your project's scopes. such as are you
tracking outdoor or indoor objects? stationary background or
dynamic background?
my project involved stationary background and the most
common way to do this is save all your video frames, then
make a background model(usually for the first 10-30 frames),
then subtract every frames with the background model to
detect foreground objects, then the proses morfology to get
rid of the noise(white spot)..
please give me your email address so that i could send you
my source code for reference.
Best Regards,
Sing Wai

No problem, just let me know your email add. and I will send
it to you. But wanna inform you beforehand that my project
is actually a final year project titled "pedestrian tracking
using Kalman Filter".
And there's a very good examples on the Matlab Central File
Exchange area called "2D tracking using Kalman Filter" which
I think might be useful to you.

Thank you for your concern.By the way, this is my email

Saša Mandi?
I'm working on my final year project and the theme is moving detection in video!
I saw that you have something similar to mine so I was wondering if you finished your work?
I need help with mine!
I'm not so good with matlab so I need a help or can you give me your algorithm so I can see how did you resolve your problem with detection??
Thank you!
Can You contact me on email?

i am doing a project on "human intrusion detection" in matlab.its mainly regarding human beings following a strict path while walking, any deviation from the intended path will be recognised and alarm sounded. the project is somewhat similar to that of "lane departure warning system" only the difference being it is implemented for human being. Being new to matlab finding it very difficult to develop the code. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. if anyone can mail me any program code somewhat relevant to this also will do . thanks folks my email id is biplabk...@hotmail.com
Hisham Sager
Have you done with the project?
Thanks

does anyone know how to create the best layout(gui) .fig and .m coding for people tracking by using the .avi file. i made the layout already but i can't handled it correctly. i did't know how to use the handles. functions. there are five main push buttons on my gui layout named browse button to browse video input file, option box to choose plotting method(edge detection/boundary box), run button to run analysis towards input file(background subtraction/morphological processes), control button(pause/continue) and exit button to end the program.there are 4 axes-es for original video,foreground human tracking with the presence of noisy pixels,binarized image and tracking(edge detection or boundary box).
does anyone know if this is possible and how is it done.
thanks in advance.

I'm almost done with background subtraction and morphology process but the part that I can't do is to track the people(video). If you still kept your project code, can you email it for me.
thank you.

Hi did you manage to complete this? recognise whether it was human? car? bird etc? I am currently trying to do this and I am running out of time and would appreciate the help.
If you wouldnt mind could you send me the code (to reference) to time4...@hotmail.com? Thank you for any help you may give :)

Hello Chee Sing Wai
Hi, I was wondering if you still have this project at hand? similar to yours I am also trying to make a people tracking system. Do you still have your matlab code for this? would appreciate the help if you could send it to my e-mail cmuc...@yahoo.com. Thank you and God Bless.

i am also working on human tracking and having problems while tracking object in video.can you please email me the code to track moving objects in video???
Davide
I'm working to the same subject. Could you send me some code to human tracking?
Actually in my project I chose to utilize the SIFT, but the points that I find is not sufficient to track object with some kind of occlusion. So if you have some other solution, write here or by email.
Thanks

I am working in a project for tracking pedestrians outiside. I am trying to use background removal but the problem is that the leaves and grass that are in the zone move from one image to other, so using substraction doesn't work.
May you please send me the source code you use for your project?
Thank you very much in advance.

I have been reading this newsgroup for a while. I am also currently developing system for object tracking in surveillance video. I found many useful algorithm in Matlab file exchange center. You may try to Google it.
I have used keywords like Mean-shift, paticle filter and object tracking to find those example.

I'm interested in human body tracking using kalman filter and particle filter.
I would be very pleased if I can have your source code as my reference, can you please email them for me ?! or any advice you probably have!
