I want to detect humans and their position (e.g.sleeping or standing or sitting) in a video using MATLAB.I have tried using people tracking algorithms, different demos/algorithms, computer vision and DSP System Toolboxes.But still not got appropriate results.Can anyone suggest me a simple way to do it?

The Computer Vision System Toolbox has a way of detecting standing people ( vision.PeopleDetector) as well as faces and upper bodies ( vision.CascadeObjectDetector). Have you tried these?

Could you please be more specific? Have you been able to detect standing people with vision.PeopleDetector? Have you tried using a different ClassificationModel? The object comes with two: 'UprightPeople_128x64' (Default) and 'UprightPeople_96x48'.
Also, is your camera stationary? You could try using vision.ForegroundDetector do detect anything that moves.

The University of Dayton has developed human action recognition software. See their site for ideas on how to proceed: http://www.udayton.edu/engineering/vision_lab/human_activity_recognition/action_recognition.php It won't be easy, and there is nothing built in to any MATLAB toolbox to do this, so you're in for a lot of work.
