Abstract

A system and method for human motion detection and tracking are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical sensing instrument monitors a stage. A memory is accessible to a processor and communicatively coupled to the optical sensing instrument. The system captures a depth frame from the optical sensing instrument. The depth frame may include at each image element first coordinate values including a point related to a distance from the optical sensing instrument. The depth frame is converted into a designated depth frame format, which includes at each image element second coordinate values relative to the depth frame. Probability distribution models are applied to the designated depth frame format to identify a respective plurality of body parts. The position of each of the respective plurality of body parts in the designated depth frame is calculated as is the position of each of the plurality of body parts in the depth frame.
