what type of features i have to extract to recognize weather in image there is a man or not

what type of features i have to extract to recognize whether in image there is a man or not, given a real time image, i have to detect whether there exists a man or not and which approach is simple neural network or template matching and are the steps that i have to follow in both the approaches

Is there a man inside that Dalek, or is one of the mechanical Daleks?

I think you mean "whether" (meaning "if") rather than "weather" (rain, sunshine, snow, fog, etc.). Detecting weather and detecting a man would be quite different algorithms.

I'm not familiar with neural network methods. I'm not sure if that method is required by you or not. Have you tried the NN examples/demos?

The Computer Vision System Toolbox does have face detection and pedestrian tracking algorithms in it. Check it out: http://www.mathworks.com/products/computer-vision/description4.html

Other than that, you can search Vision Bib for topics such as tracking, surveillance, pedestrian, face detection, etc.
