Abstract

We present in this article a human detection and tracking algorithm using infrared vision in order to have reliable information on a room occupation. We intend to use this information to limit energetic consumption (light, heating). We perform first, a foreground segmentation with a Gaussian background model. A tracking step based on connected components intersections allows to collect information on 2D displacements of moving objects in the image plane. A classification based on a cascade of boosted classifiers is used for the recognition. Experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
