Human-of-interest tracking by integrating two heterogeneous vision sensors

Abstract

Human, especially human-of-interest, detection and tracking is a necessary part for immersive and realistic human-computer interaction. Thus, we propose an intelligent multi-vision-based human detection and tracking system that consists of a visible camera, an infrared camera, a dynamic infrared lighting system, and a cold mirror. The system segments a human region of interest and tracks his/her motion. Experimental results are given for verifying the usefulness of the proposed method.
