Abstract
A human monitoring system includes a plurality of cameras and a visual processor. The plurality of cameras are disposed about a workspace area, where each camera is configured to capture a video feed that includes a plurality of image frames, and the plurality of image frames are time-synchronized between the respective cameras. The visual processor is configured to receive the plurality of image frames from the plurality of vision-based imaging devices and determine an integrity score for each respective image frame. The processor may then isolate a foreground section from two or more of the views, determine a principle body axis for each respective foreground section, and determine a location point according to a weighted least squares function amongst the various principle body axes.
