Leveraging Two Kinect Sensors for Accurate Full-Body Motion Capture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate motion capture plays an important role in sports analysis, the medical field and virtual reality. Current methods for motion capture often suffer from occlusions, which limits the accuracy of their pose estimation. In this paper, we propose a complete system to measure the pose parameters of the human body accurately. Different from previous monocular depth camera systems, we leverage two Kinect sensors to acquire more information about human movements, which ensures that we can still get an accurate estimation even when significant occlusion occurs. Because human motion is temporally constant, we adopt a learning analysis to mine the temporal information across the posture variations. Using this information, we estimate human pose parameters accurately, regardless of rapid movement. Our experimental results show that our system can perform an accurate pose estimation of the human body with the constraint of information from the temporal domain.

Person Identification Using Full-Body Motion and Anthropometric Biometrics from Kinect Videos
For person identification, motion and anthropometric biometrics are known to be less sensitive to photometric differences and more robust to obstructions such as glasses, hair, and hats. Existing gaitbased methods are based on the accurate identification and acquisition of the gait cycle. This typically requires the subject to repeatedly perform a single action using a costly motion-capture fac...

Optical capturing of human body motion has many practical applications, ranging from motion analysis in sports and medicine, over ergonomy research, up to computer animation in game and movie production. Unfortunately, many existing approaches require expensive multi-camera systems and controlled studios for recording, and expect the person to wear special marker suits. Furthermore, marker-less...
