Static posture based person identification

摘要

A system and method for identifying an unknown person based on a static posture of the unknown person is described. The method includes receiving data of N skeleton joints of the unknown person from a skeleton recording device. The method further includes identifying the static posture of the unknown person. The method includes dividing a skeleton structure of the unknown person in a plurality of body parts based on joint types of the skeleton structure. In addition, the method includes extracting feature vectors for each of the joint type from each of the plurality of body parts. The method further includes identifying the unknown person based on comparison of the feature vectors for the unknown person with one of a constrained feature dataset and an unconstrained feature dataset for a plurality of known persons.
