Abstract

Person detection and tracking in a scene constitutes a very active working field due to their applicability to many areas and specially in MMI applications. The system presented in this paper is the result of the work carried out in the last years to improve the reliability and efficiency of operation in natural complex environments. Image segmentation is performed from movement detection. The recognition of moving objects such as persons, is performed by means of a very simplified multicylindrical geometrical model, thus allowing to operate with a low computational cost
