Dynamic Ellipse Fitting on blobs in an image means placing an elliptical human model on detected foreground to classify either the foreground contains a human or not. First of all, if the blob size(foreground size) is less than some threshold then it is not a human. If it is a human, then we perform this technique to decide either there are more than one person or not. In short, we use dynamic ellipse fitting for Occlussion Removal.
The technique to place a dynamic ellipse is as follow:
Center of Image ---> (Xi,Yi)
Center of blob -----> (Xb,Yb)
Angle for the orientation of the ellipse depends upon the distance from the center and also the location of the blob in an image, therefore
Angle--------------> 180 - ((arctan((Yb-Yi)/(Xb-Xi)))*180/Pi)
Equation of the ellipse is:
-------------------------
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
-------------------------
this can be expanded to:
(Xb-Xi)^2/Rx^2 + (Yb-Yi)^2/Ry^2 = 1
=> (Xb-Xi)^2*Ry^2 + (Yb-Yi)^2*Rx^2 = Rx^2*Ry^2
where Rx = Wi/hx, Ry = Hi/hy
Wi = width of the image
Hi = height of the image
hx = ??????? (still not finalized)
hy = ??????? (still not finalized)
distance of the blob from the center of an image -> sqRoot((Yb-Yi)^2 + (Xb-Xi)^2)
this thing will be used to adjust the values of hx and hy. In this way a variable length ellipse will be
placed on the blobs in an image.
