ABSTRACT
Identifying humans under partial occlusion is a challenging problem in unconstrained scene understanding. In contrast to many existing works that model human appearance in isolation, we address this problem by studying the semantic context between human face and other body parts using Markov logic networks. By learning a set of probabilistic first-order logic rules that capture interactions between body parts under varying degrees of occlusion, and the relationship they share with the neighboring spatial windows, we obtain a graphical model representation of these instances to facilitate inference. We illustrate the efficacy of our method through experiments on standard human detection datasets, and an internally collected dataset with several occluding humans.

Robust Human Detection to Pose and Occlusion Using Bag-of-Words
ICPR '14: Proceedings of the 2014 22nd International Conference on Pattern RecognitionTo understand the human action in still images, it is effective to detect the human region. However, since appearance of human is much different due to pose and occlusion, the detection is quite difficult. Here we propose robust human detection method ...
Occlusion Detectable Stereo -- Occlusion Patterns in Camera Matrix
CVPR '96: Proceedings of the 1996 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR '96)In stereo algorithms with more than two cameras, the improvement of accuracy is often reported since they are robust against noise. However, another important aspect of the polynocular stereo, that is the ability of occlusion detection, has been paid ...
Classification and quantification of occlusion using hidden markov model
PReMI'11: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Pattern recognition and machine intelligenceOver the last few years, gait recognition has become an active area of research. However, one of the shortcomings is lack of a method for quantifying occlusion in scenes used for capturing gait of individuals. Occlusion can occur primarily because of ...
