A robust tracking algorithm is the cornerstone of human motion analysis applications. This book describes the tracking problem from three points of view: punctual, regional and human pose modelling. In the first one, the subject is considered as a compact object, small and rigid. In the second one, it is possible to model it as a set of connected regions, each one with its own properties, and which junction identifies the subject. The last point of view allows us to identify the person as a non-rigid object, with morphologic and dynamic properties which are intrinsically human. Our goal consists in the study and understanding of these three different stages in which the human being can be modelled, as well as the selection of the most suitable stage depending on the application and the problem to be solved. The problem will set the necessities and impose the limitations in each time, due to internal factors (multiple target, occlusions, camera location) or external factors (cost, technical feasibility).
