Abstract

Human lying posture detections are disclosed. A human lying on a bed is detected by obtaining an image through a depth camera, detecting objects in the image and marking the objects in the image using 2D bounding boxes by deep learning, determining the human being in a lying posture in response to a width and a height of the 2D bounding box of the human meeting a predetermined condition, detecting one or more skin areas in the image and generating skin area 2D bounding boxes to mark each of the one or more skin areas using a skin detection algorithm, and determining the human being in the lying posture in response to the skin area 2D bounding boxes and the 2D bounding box of the bed meeting a predetermined positional relationship.
