Segmentation of human bodies in images is useful for a variety of applications, including background substitution, human activity recognition, security, and video surveillance applications. However, human body segmentation has been a challenging problem, due to the complicated shape and motion of a non-rigid human body. Meanwhile, depth sensors with advanced pattern recognition algorithms provide human body skeletons in real time with reasonable accuracy. In this study, we propose an algorithm that projects the human body skeleton from a depth image to a color image, where the human body region is segmented in the color image by using the projected skeleton as a segmentation cue. Experimental results using the Kinect sensor demonstrate that the proposed method provides high quality segmentation results and outperforms the conventional methods.

A body-size measurement method based on checkerboard matching is proposed. First, calibrated cameras are used to acquire two body images after projecting chess boards on human body with projector. Then, the parallax of the two images is got by feature extraction and stereo matching. Finally, we can calculate the 3D coordinates of the human body according to the principle of binocular vision to complete the acquisition of body size. The result shows that measurement error is ± 4%. This study can measure automatically and improve precision compared with traditional methods while it has low-cost, simple operation compared with the non-contact measurement. And the results accuracy can meet its general application in practice.

In order to make it possible to measure the clo value in various postures, we are studying the measurement method using the human body. Our previous researches showed that clo value measured with the human body is less than that measured with a “constant temperature control”-type thermal manikin. In our previous experiments, human body changes its skin temperature in response to the amount of clothing or changes in the temperature to maintain heat loss, while a “constant temperature control”-type thermal manikin changes its heat loss in response to the temperature or amount of clothing. Human body reaction is similar to “constant heat dissipation” -type thermal manikin. In order to improve the clo value measurement method using the human body, clo value of same clothing by thermal manikin which changed control method to “constant temperature” and “constant heat dissipation” were measured. Relational expressions of thermal insulation of clothes measured by different control methods were shown.

In this study, an estimation method for human height is proposed using color and depth information. Color images are used for deep learning by mask R-CNN to detect a human body and a human head separately. If color images are not available for extracting the human body region due to low light environment, then the human body region is extracted by comparing between current frame in depth video and a pre-stored background depth image. The topmost point of the human head region is extracted as the top of the head and the bottommost point of the human body region as the bottom of the foot. The depth value of the head top-point is corrected to a pixel value that has high similarity to a neighboring pixel. The position of the body bottom-point is corrected by calculating a depth gradient between vertically adjacent pixels. Two head-top and foot-bottom points are converted into 3D real-world coordinates using depth information. Two real-world coordinates estimate human height by measuring a Euclidean distance. Estimation errors for human height are corrected as the average of accumulated heights. In experiment results, we achieve that the estimated errors of human height with a standing state are 0.7% and 2.2% when the human body region is extracted by mask R-CNN and the background depth image, respectively.

<span lang="EN-US">This paper presents a method to detect multiple human body postures using Kinect sensor. In this study, a combination of shape features and body joint points are used as input features. The Kinect sensor which used infrared camera to produce a depth image is suitable to be used in an environment that has varying lighting conditions. The method for human detection is done by processing the depth image and joint data (skeleton) which able to overcome several problems such as cluttered background, various articulated poses, and change in color and illumination. Then, the body joint coordinates found on the object are used to calculate the body proportion ratio. In the experiment, the average body proportions from three body parts are obtained to verify the suitableness of golden ratio usage in this work. Finally, the measured body proportion is compared with Golden Ratio to determine whether the found object is a real human body or not. This method is tested for various scenarios, where true positive human detection is high for various postures. This method able to detect a human body in low lighting and dark room. The average body proportions obtained from the experiment show that the value is close to the golden ratio value.</span>
