A new scheme for human posture recognition is proposed based on analysis of key body parts. Utilizing a time-of-flight depth camera, a pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) is employed to detect a moving human in cluttered background. In the posture recognition phase, a hierarchical decision tree is d...
