Hello,

In my project, I should be able to detect a person on the floor in an image. I am using a Festo Robotino 2010 model, which has Logitech C250, laser scanner and IR detectors. What is the best way to go about it in OpenCV?

fallen people you can detect by rotating the image 90° and then apply the pedestrian detector

Very useless suggestion as he does not know in which direction he has to turn the image! BTW: If you train a detector at the southpole, would it also work on the northpole?

Ok, he can apply the detector on the both rotated images (+90° and -90°). But this is just for test, if it is slow, than he may also train a detector of fallen people. IMHO there is no reason to try to train the detectors if this approach is not going to work.

Going with OpenCV using image processing. Go with "movement" detection code. Still further more if you want to add then you add constrain of skin color.

Hi,

I need to detect only a person who has already fallen.

@sam3891: I think you shall try to verify if the fallen persons are similar to the standing ones (rotated with 90°). Other approach: BOW (for people) + some "filters" for finding if the person is fallen.
