 note = {It is difficult to use histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) or other gradient-based features to detect persons in outdoor environments given that the background or scale undergoes considerable changes. This study involved the segmentation of depth images. Additionally, P-type Fourier descriptors were extracted as shape features from two-dimensional coordinates of a contour in the segmentation domains. With respect to the P-type Fourier descriptors, a person detector was created with the fuzzy c-means method (for general person detection). Furthermore, a fuzzy color histogram was extracted in terms of color features from the RGB values of the domain surface. With respect to the fuzzy color histogram, a detector of a person wearing specific clothes was created with the fuzzy c-means method (specific person detection). The study includes the following characteristics: 1) The general person detection requires less number of images used for learning and is robust against a change in the scale when compared to that in cases in which HOG or other methods are used. 2) The specific person detection gives results close to those obtained by human color vision when compared to the color indices such as RGB or CIEDE. This method was applied for a person search application at the Tsukuba Challenge, and the obtained results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method., A part of the study was financially supported by Promotion Grant for Higher Education and Resech 2014 at Kansai University under the title "Tsukuba Challenge and RoboCup @ Home.", 平成26年度関西大学教育研究高度化促進費},
