Abstract

This paper proposes a computer vision based method that recognizes interactions between human body and object. In two successive frames in a video sequence, our function based contour analysis method checks whether the silhouettes of the human body and object overlap. If they do not overlap, our method judges that the human body and object does not interact. If the two silhouettes overlap, our method checks whether the motion vectors obtained from the areas for the human body and object coincide. If they coincide, our method judges that the human body and object are interacting. Some experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
