Abstract

This paper introduces an upper body pose recognition and classifier system. Our objective is to analyze, design and implement the above mentioned system to enhance the machine's understanding of humans based upon affective behavior of humans. This work follows vision based techniques for recognition and identification of a vast range of non-overlapping body poses. The problem in body-posture identification is the inherent complexity of poses, like same pose can be present in a number of different scenarios or situations. Therefore it is inappropriate to guess the exact pose without identifying facial gestures, hand gestures and speech. Hence our approach is to identify the exact position of arms, head, shoulders and torso, so that, we can estimate the intensity of any pose and also identify possible emotion(s) under which this pose is expressed. The accuracy of this system is as good as 92%.
