Abstract

This work addresses the problem of human body segmentation from multi-modal visual cues as a first stage of automatic human behavior analysis. We propose a novel RGB-Depth-Thermal dataset along with a multi-modal seg- mentation baseline. The several modalities are registered us- ing a calibration device and a registration algorithm. Our baseline extracts regions of interest using background sub- traction, defines a partitioning of the foreground regions into cells, computes a set of image features on those cells us- ing different state-of-the-art feature extractions, and models the distribution of the descriptors per cell using probabilis- tic models. A supervised learning algorithm then fuses the output likelihoods over cells in a stacked feature vector rep- resentation. The baseline, using Gaussian Mixture Models for the probabilistic modeling and Random Forest for the stacked learning, is superior to other state-of-the-art meth- ods, obtaining an overlap above 75% on the novel dataset when compared to the manually annotated ground-truth of human segmentations.
