Abstract

Recognition of human motions using their 2-D images has various applications. An eigenspace method is employed in this paper for representing and recognizing human motions. An eigenspace is created from the images taken by multiple cameras that surround a human in motion. Image streams obtained from the cameras compose the same number of curved lines in the eigenspace and they are used for recognizing a human motion in a video image. Performance of the proposed technique is shown experimentally.
