Abstract :
We discuss and present a computer vision system that monitors a sitting baby of ages of 6 months old to one-year-old. The system tracks a baby´s mouth and hands and alarms the guardians if it finds some objects in the baby´s hand going towards his or her mouth. We use skin detection, grayscale based sum of square differences (SSD) and template matching for tracking the hands and the head of a baby.
