REU (Summer) 2001


Currently I am working on the following project.

Project Topic: Monitoring a sitting baby using a single camera

Abstract: This system would monitor children inside a room and alarm the gaurdians if the child is putting something in his/her mouth. It will help prevent many children from choking and even dying due to that. Many similar accidents have happened in past.

The following are some results (.mpeg) that I have got so far, and I am aiming for better results.

Original Data
Canny Edge Detector
Color Predicate
Tracking Eyes
Tracking Mouth

Currently, I am trying to track hands using three tools:
1. Colorpredicate image (use the skin detected parts for step 2 and 3)
2.Maximum Intensity of Motion in the whole image (difference of skin parts from two consequtive images
3.Maximum Intensity of Edges in the whole image(calculate the part in the image where the intensity of edge just in skin parts)

I would be happy to get any suggestions. bhatt@cs.ucf.edu
