No vision algorithm can guess what a human looks like if you don't provide models, either as sample images, or as some kind of structural description built into code.

In the case of this edge map, you will need a way to relate edge pieces to a potential silhouette edge, taking into account clutter and occlusion. (Note that using edge detection is probably a very bad idea to begin with, it spoils a lot of useful information; better use segmentation)

So you have a case of deformable template matching, in difficult conditions. My best advice: if you are inexperienced, drop it.
