Please help: Human Contour Recognition
Hello, I'm a developer new to the computer vision world. I'm assigned a task to separate the human contour from pictures provided by users. Can you please give a pointer where I should start looking? Is Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor the right technology to use? Thank you very much!

You could try grabcut http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/visionimagevid...
For a task similar to this I used Histogram of Gradients(HOG). It works even if you start with a contour (although the first step in HOG is the application of a gradient filter)
If you have images that are not in a clutter, you might even be able to use some sort of shape descriptor (Eg - shape number) Use an SVM or Adaboost as classifier.
