Abstract

Automatic body detection and identification of a person is one of the most recent research topics that has gained a lot of attention from researchers. Automated systems that will store human biometrics along with the personal information can be of significant assistance in investigations and security issues. Biometrics represents unique aspects of the body that are measurable, robust, distinctive, physical characteristic, or personal traits of an individual by which a person can be identified. Biometric surveillance systems measure and analyze human physical and behavioral characteristics for identification purposes. A method of body measurement can be used for human identification, with the means of using a static camera. Body measurement calculation based on similar triangles is proposed. The focal length of the camera is a very important aspect of the method. This process can provide the means for obtained image segmentation, measurement of the body parts of the subject, and finally, these measurements can be used for identification of the person.
