Human detection device and human detection method

Abstract

The present invention provides a human detection device which detects a human contained in a moving picture, and includes the following: a spatiotemporal volume generation unit which generates a three-dimensional spatiotemporal image in which frame images that make up the moving picture in which a human has been filmed are arranged along a temporal axis; a spatiotemporal fragment extraction unit which extracts a real image spatiotemporal fragment, which is an image appearing in a cut plane or cut fragment when the three-dimensional spatiotemporal image is cut, from the generated three-dimensional spatiotemporal image; a human body region movement model spatiotemporal fragment output unit which generates and outputs, based on a human movement model which defines a characteristic of the movement of a human, a human body region movement spatiotemporal fragment, which is a spatiotemporal fragment obtained from a movement by the human movement model; a spatiotemporal fragment verification unit which verifies between a real image spatiotemporal fragment and a human body region movement model spatiotemporal fragment; and an attribute output unit which outputs a human attribute which includes the presence/absence of a human in the moving picture, based on that verification result.
