Abstract

Tracking of human body and their pose models from a video data is important in the indoor surveillance applications. The objective of this paper is to develop a human pose modelling in two-dimensional and three dimensional views using wavelet based skin colour segmentation for the monocular videos. The approximation information of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used for segmenting the human body from the video frame and to find the skin features. The human pose modelling is proposed by detecting thirteen features from the upper body as well as in the lower body. Here, twelve human poses are considered for the analysis. In this paper, the hardware system is implemented for monitoring the human poses by sending the SMS message. Also, the efficiencies of 2D modelling and 3D modelling for the pre-defined poses are evaluated.
