System and method for measuring height of human body in video image based on camera calibration

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for measuring the height of a human body in a video image based on camera calibration and further discloses a method for measuring the height of a human body in a video image based on camera calibration. The system comprises a calibration point selecting module, a camera parameter calculating module, a body height measuring end point selecting module and a human body height calculating module. By the adoption of the system and the method, the height of a person erectly standing on the ground can be measured only by relying on monitored video image data after camera parameters and corresponding space transformation matrixes of the parameters are calculated. The height calculating process is simplified. The camera parameters are calculated according to the correspondence relation of image space coordinates and actual space coordinates of the same position point. The height of the person erectly standing on the ground is calculated by combining with the camera parameters and foot bottom point and head top point measurement end point information and utilizing a height calculating algorithm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer vision, in particular to the technical field of video camera calibration and video image target measurement, and specifically refers to a system and method for measuring human body height in video images based on camera calibration. Background technique [0002] The target measurement methods of video images include perspective measurement method, on-site reproduction measurement method, space mapping method and picture matching method. Perspective drawing measurement is a method of measuring by drawing based on the principle of perspective. This method is simple to operate, but requires mastering the basic theory of perspective, and needs to accurately find the "vanishing point" according to the on-site reference objects. The scene reconstruction measurement method is a measurement method based on the reconstruction of the crime scene, which is adopted when the scene reconstruction is possible ...
