Human Detection using Image Processing

Human sensing also called human detection or human presence detection. Human detection and tracking is one of the most popular area of video processing and the essential requirement of any surveillance system. In this paper we have used image segmentation technique for human detection. Performance enhancement of human detection based on visible light camera is limited, because of factors, such as non-uniform illumination, shadows and low external light in evening and night. Human sensing encompasses a range of technologies for detecting the presence of human body in an area of space, typically without the intentional participation of the detected person. Human detection is a new rising research area, involving pattern recognition, image processing, computer vision, human kinematics, artificial intelligence and machine learning and so on. In human detection face detection, head detection etc. involved. Head can be recognized by computer easily. The first feature selected by a robust and efficient human body human body detection system must be head features. Nowadays, the human body detection based on head feature is widely used in intelligent control, human computer dialog, predestrian detection, discater rescue and so on.
