Human Tracking in Non-cooperative Scenarios

In this chapter we discuss human tracking problems for biometric applications in non-cooperative scenarios. The chapter starts with an overview of modern biometric authentication systems. Special attention is paid to vision system construction and its design fundamentals. Next the existing image segmentation methods are presented with emphasis on procedures suitable for image pre-segmentation during the acquisition process. The chapter ends with some sample processing architectures presentation.
