Abstract
This paper describes a method for tracking and identification of persons based on their height. The method measures the height of persons while tracking them by stereo camera. A person on an image is detected by Model-based Matching with 2-D simple human shape model. The image is searched for persons by Genetic Algorithm. The 3-D position of the head is measured by corresponding head positions on the images of stereo camera. The height of the person is estimated by the head height and the size of the human shape model. After registering the height of the persons in a space, our method identifies persons while tracking them. Experimental results ascertain the effectiveness of our proposed system.
