A human body morphology detector: a distinctive filter to differentiate the image-based process depending on whether the person is a child or an adult

In several particularly secure applications such as the entrance to a school, it is important to know whether the person entering is an adult or a child. In this article, we propose a human body morphology detector that distinguishes whether the person is an adult or a child. This detector could be included in a smart portal to detect whether the entry person is an adult or a child to apply a different treatment depending on the morphology. A person detector module1 is deployed to detect the presence of a person within a predefined radius. When the location of the person is detected, our system can measure the height of the person and determine if the person is an adult or a child based on its height.
