In this paper, we describe an efficient method for a fast people re-identification based on models of human clothes. An initial model is estimated during people detection and tracking, which will be refined during the re-identification. This stepwise extraction, combination and comparing of features speeds up the whole re-identification. For the refining, several saliency maps are used to extract individual features. These individual features are located separately for any human body part. The body parts are located with an optimized GPU-based HOG detector. Furthermore, we introduce a meanshift-based fusion concept which utilizes multiple detectors in order to increase the detection reliability.
Currently in home environments, robot assisting systems with emotion understanding ability are generally achieved in two several manners. The first is the implementing of such systems in such a way that they offer general services for all considered persons without considering privacy, special needs of their interaction partners. The second way is the targetting of such systems for merely one person. In this work we present a robot assisting system, which has both the abilities of assisting several persons at the same time and sustaining their privacy and security issues. The robot can interact with it's interaction partner emotionally by analyzing the emotions of her expressed either visually, facial expression, or auditive, speech prosody. The role of this system is the providing of person-specific support in home environment. In order to identify its interaction partner the system uses diverse biometric traits. According to the recognized ID the system, first, adopts towards the needs of recognized person. Second the system loads the corresponding emotional profile of the detected interaction partner in order to practice a person-specific emotional human-robot interaction, which has an advantage over the person independent interaction.
