This article presents a part of a system that is used to analyse
and synthesise human movement by means of a colour
segmentation and matching process to track and reconstruct the
main aspects using a biomechanic model of a person. A colour
segmentation criteria is proposed. The segmented parts help us
to reduce the space search in matching process. The main
purpose of the system is to carry out a correspondence between
this graphic model (primitives) and the person in movement in
several real images (colour and grey level). The process is
intended to be non-invasive and automatic although it is
currently used with the minimum manual intervention of the
user. The system work in a controlled environment. The study
of the movement of the human body is applicable to many
current fields of science and technology, such as biomechanical
study in sporting areas, the integration of people in virtual
worlds, and more related with computer vision techniques, in
the ability to recognise or track people in scenes. The final
result will enable us to integrate the synthetic model and its
movement with the real person in a real or virtual world
adaptable to different applications.
