According to recent research from Luxembourg, "Vision-based 3-D head detection and tracking systems have been studied in several applications like video surveillance, face-detection systems, and occupant posture analysis. In this paper, we present the development of a topology-based framework using a 3-D skeletal model for the robust detection and tracking of a vehicle occupant's head position from low-resolution range image data for a passive safety system."
"Unlike previous approaches to head detection, the proposed approach explores the topology information of a scene to detect the position of the head. Among the different available topology representations, ...
