Title:

Periodic Analysis for Detection, Tracking and Recognition of Moving Humans in Video sequences

Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss our recent work on detection, tracking and recognition of moving humans in video sequences acquired by stationary and moving platforms. I will first discuss statistical hypothesis testing procedures for detecting periodic motion in video signals. Representations of detected moving humans using silhouettes, segmented regions and double-helical gait signatures from X-t slices will then be presented. Applications to tracking and recognition of humans as well as anomaly detection will be illustrated.
