Abstract

Object recognition is one of the key technologies of the monitoring system for the prevention of crimes diversified the intelligent. The height is one of the physical information of the person, it may be important information to confirm the identity with physical characteristics of the subject has. In this paper, we provide a method of measuring the height that utilize RGB-Depth camera, the Kinect. Given that in order to measure the height of a person, and know the height of Kinect, by using the depth information of Kinect the distance to the head and foot of Kinect, estimating the height of a person. The proposed method throughout the experiment confirms that it is effective to estimate the height of a person in the room.

객체 인식은 지능적이고 다양화된 범죄 예방을 위해 감시 시스템에서 중요한 기술이다. 사람의 신체 정보인 키는 대상이 가지고 있는 신체적인 특징으로 신원을 확인하는데 중요한 정보가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 RGB-Depth 카메라, 키넥트를 활용한 새로운 키 추정 방법을 제안한다. 사람의 키를 측정하기 위해 키넥트의 높이를 알고 있는 것으로 가정하고, 키넥트에서 머리와 발까지의 거리를 키넥트의 깊이 정보를 이용하여 사람의 키를 추정한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법이 실내에서 사람의 키를 추정하는데 효과적임을 확인한다.
