3-D-Skeleton-Based Head Detection and Tracking Using Range Images

Vision-based 3-D head detection and tracking systems have been studied in several applications like video surveillance, face-detection systems, and occupant posture analysis. In this paper, we present the development of a topology-based framework using a 3-D skeletal model for the robust detection and tracking of a vehicle occupant's head position from low-resolution range image data for a passive...
