Abstract

This study measures the active state of the subject body and tracks a body part or whole body using Active Quantity and color-information. The active state measures how a subject moves a body part from the movement of the subject photographed in digital video camera lively with Active Quantity between 0.0 and 1.0. When a subject stands still or when a subject disappeared, the general tracking has the problem that it is difficult to track a subject body. The proposal method can know the active state of the subject by measuring the movement of the subject with Active Quantity. And, this method can observe a subject effectively in the remote control systems such as a surveillance camera system, and the telemedicine system, because this study can estimate the active state of the subject while tracking subject body.
