Method of tracking human body for the self-timer system in the digital camera
一种用于数码相机自拍系统的人体检测方法

Based on designing an intelligent self-timer system for the Digital Camera, a simple and effective approach was given to detect and locate the human body based on the still background. The background model was built based on the difference between real-timer image and reference image, in terms of which foreground objects were segmented. Then shadows were removed according to the contained angle of color vector. Finally threshold of the projection was used to extract and locate the human body. This algorithm can meet the object-tracking requirements of self-timer with low computation and good adaotability.
