Bao Yan, Ying Qing Yu · Advanced materials research · 2013
The aim of human mechanics is to reveal the mechanics properties of human motion. Especially, the purpose of human motion detection is detecting the moving people from continuous image sequences, extracting human body segments and then getting motion feature. The paper presents a shadow detection algorithm based on covariance difference operator based RGB color space and discusses its mechanics properties. The presented algorithm includes four steps: object detection, suspected shadow detection, shadow detection and post processing. The presented algorithm of adaptive shadow detection threshold is adopted to suppress the effect of shadow in moving object detection more effectively. The experiment results show the algorithm presented in this paper can detect shadow effectively.
