Multiple Structured Light-Based Depth Sensors for Human Motion Analysis: A Review
Human motion analysis is an increasingly important active research domain with various applications in surveillance, human-machine interaction and human posture analysis. The recent developments in depth sensor technology, especially with the release of the Kinect device, have attracted significant attention to the question of how to take advantage of this technology in order to achieve accurate motion tracking and action detection in marker-less approaches. In this paper, we review the benefits and limitations deriving from the adoption of structured light-based depth sensors in human motion analysis applications. Surveying the relevant literature, we have identified in calibration, interf…
Temporal Denoising of Kinect Depth Data
The release of the Microsoft Kinect has attracted the attention of researchers in a variety of computer science domains. Even though this device is still relatively new, its recent applications have shown some promising results in terms of replacing current conventional methods like the stereo-camera for robotics navigation, multi-camera system for motion detection and laser scanner for 3D reconstruction. While most work around the Kinect is on how to take full advantage of its capabilities, so far only a few studies have been carried out on the limitations of this device and fewer that provide solutions to enhance the precision of its measurements. In this paper, we review and analyse curr…
