This paper proposes a method of simulating the movements of the human body by automatically extracting the characteristics of an object from a camera and sending them to mobile devices. In this method, a RGB color video from a camera was converted into hue, saturation, and intensity images for extracting the silhouettes of the human body using digital subtraction of the images. Using the corner points and modeling information from the extracted silhouettes, joints are automatically detected and used as each connection points of the object. Also, block-matching algorithms were applied to extracted joints to track the characteristics, which are sent to mobile devices. On the mobile devices, body movements are simulated using the received joints. The results showed that the method automatically detects silhouettes and joints and effectively simulates the human body using the extracted joints. Also, the tracking of the joints were reflected in the mapped body, allowing for appropriate tracking the movements.
