Hello,

I have to write project about human recognition based on ther silhouette. I can't find properly method which I should implement in Matlab and use to solve my problem. Maybe you can help me, please, write about steps I should do to create my project or tell me about some methods which will be good for Matlab to solve this problem,

regards
Kris

1) Search the image processing literature for an appropriate algorithm to 
use for your project.  This may entail substeps like "Using a search 
engine", "Going to the local library", or "Asking image processing experts 
in the local area".
2) Implement the algorithm you chose in step 1.  If you encounter 
difficulties performing this step, show what you've done and ask a SPECIFIC 
question about where you're stuck and you may receive some help.

Regarding #1, the best place to start is here:
http://iris.usc.edu/Vision-Notes/bibliography/contents.html
Virtually every image processing paper ever published is in there.
And you can search it.
Other than that, I don't have anything to help you.

Is the task to distinguish human vs non-human (i.e., to recognize what is 
human), or is the task to distinguish amongst particular humans (i.e., to 
recognize who the silhouette is) ?

Are you using multiple camera angles? If you are not, how are you going to 
recognize a particular person compared to a "cardboard cut-out" of the same 
person?

Are you assuming the lighting angle will be constant? Do you have to deal with 
things like estimating time of day and back-projecting shadows to reconstruct 
the correctly-proportioned image? If someone is wearing different heights of 
shoes in between imaging from a light at a known position, then the silhoutte 
angle will be different for the two images, and that could lead to some 
complications.

The first thing you have to do for any project like this is to define what the 
boundaries are of what you are attempting to do -- and in so doing, assume 
that anything you do not explicitly restrict will be free to roam arbitrarily. 
For example, does your program have to be able to distinguish the various 
Apollo astronauts from the silhouttes of their moon-suits when they are the 
moon? Ah, you didn't remember to restrict it to Earth, did you?

Hello Kris,

I'm doing research about the state of the art of Human Gaits Recognition Algorithms for my university master's degree and I would like to add you on my contacts list. My main goal is to do a continuous tracking system of the "speech owner" in a meeting room using a motion controlled camera. I believe we can help each other with all that we will find about this matter. If you agree, please let me know!
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,

Nuno Moreira
