Concept of ubiquitous stereo vision and applications for human sensing

We carried out experiments on real-time recognition technology mainly for humans (of human existence, the face at intentional gestures) in the real-world environment. We placed stereo cameras ubiquitously and used a large-capacity gigabit network. This paper describes the concept of this "Ubiquitous Stereo Vision" and a new method for human sensing. We focused on the method of detecting the basic poses and arm and a fingerprint ID device at the entrance, etc. are used in this research. Therefore, the vision sensors are mere tools, and the research focuses on more effective utilization of personal computers. pointing gestures of multiple persons. The objectives of this research were to use 3D and color information, and to develop a real-time new human sensing method. We place the stereo cameras statically, utilize range information as a key, and understand the scene of human behavior. The cases of indoor life space support and safety improvement support are described as the specific applications.
