Abstract :
Summary form only given. Recent years have seen an increasing number of computer vision applications focusing on humans as their objects of interest. Such applications include video surveillance, domotics, multimedia semantic annotation and indexing, human-computer interfaces, affective computing, just to cite a few. What exactly are their "objects of interest"? A broad range of human-related features: motion, gestures, actions, interactions, activities, attitudes, behaviours, identity. This article offers a survey of this field and presents some current work in the areas of emotion recognition and people tracking within camera networks
