First, the profile of sitting posture is extracted; Second, the profile features, the face's location and size, is further extracted through pattern matching based on Hausdorff distance; Finally, by comparing the real-time profile features and the standard profile features, the surveillance system will remind the user to correct his/her sitting posture.
