TOF Imaging in Smart Room Environments towards Improved People Tracking |
|
| Abstract | In this Paper we present the use of Time-of-Flight (TOF) cameras
in Smart-rooms and how this leads to improved results in
segmenting the people in the room from the background and
consequently better 3D reconstruction of the people. A calibrated
rig of one Swissranger SR3100 Time-of-flight range camera and a
high resolution standard camera is set in a smart-room consisting
of 5 other standard cameras. A probabilistic background model is
used to segment each view and a shape from silhouette 3D volume is
constructed. It is shown that the presence of the range camera
gives ways of eliminating regional artifacts and therefore a more
robust input for higher level applications such people tracking or
human motion analysis. |
