A system for recognizing various human and creature motion gaits and behaviors
is presented. These behaviors are defined as combinations of "gestures" identified
on various parts of a body in motion. For example, the leg gestures generated when
a person runs are different than when a person walks. The system described here
can identify such differences and categorize these behaviors. Gestures, as previously
defined, are motions generated by humans, animals, or machines. Where in the previous
patent only one gesture was recognized at a time, in this system, multiple gestures
on a body (or bodies) are recognized simultaneously and used in determining behaviors.
If multiple bodies are tracked by the system, then overall formations and behaviors
(such as military goals) can be determined.
