Abstract
The walking analyzer using image processing has been developed to assist impairment level in rehabilitation medicine for those who have difficulty in walking. This system adopts stereo image analysis and makes it possible to detect the walker's foot position. In most stereo approach, analysis is based on the detection of disparity map, because details of 3-D information can be got. But it was necessary to prepare a powerful machine with such an analysis because to compute enormous volume data. So we develop a new technique for stereo approach to solve this problem. This technique uses the geometry of occlusion, stable 3-D analysis can be realized in real time by use this algorithm.
