Estimating Anthropometry with Microsoft Kinect
نویسنده
چکیده
Anthropometric measurement data can be used to design a variety of devices and processes with which humans will interact; however, collecting these data is a very time-consuming process. In order to facilitate the rapid and accurate collection of anthropometric data, a novel system is under development which makes use of multiple Microsoft Kinect sensors to estimate body sizes. The Kinect is an appealing sensor for this application because it can be purchased for around 250 dollars, can be quickly set up in many different environments, and can easily be interfaced with a Windows computer. This paper will present the experimental setup and procedure used as well as some preliminary results.

Gender and Body Mass Index Classification Using a Microsoft Kinect Sensor
This paper shows results on gender and body mass index (BMI) classification using anthropometric and gait information gathered from subjects using a Microsoft Kinect sensor. We show that it’s possible to obtain high accuracies when identifying gender, but that classifying BMI is a harder task. We also compare the performance of different machine learning algorithms and different combination of ...
متن کاملKinect as a Tool for Gait Analysis: Validation of a Real-Time Joint Extraction Algorithm Working in Side View
The Microsoft Kinect sensor has gained attention as a tool for gait analysis for several years. Despite the many advantages the sensor provides, however, the lack of a native capability to extract joints from the side view of a human body still limits the adoption of the device to a number of relevant applications. This paper presents an algorithm to locate and estimate the trajectories of up t...
متن کاملPerson Identification Using Anthropometric and Gait Data from Kinect Sensor
Uniquely identifying individuals using anthropometric and gait data allows for passive biometric systems, where cooperation from the subjects being identified is not required. In this paper, we report on experiments using a novel data set composed of 140 individuals walking in front of a Microsoft Kinect sensor. We provide a methodology to extract anthropometric and gait features from this data...
متن کاملCreate Avatars using Kinect in Real-time
Real-time 3D reconstruction of the human body has many applications in anthropometry, telecommunications, gaming, fashion, and other areas of human-computer interaction. In this paper a novel framework is presented for reconstructing the 3D model of the human body from a sequence of RGB-D frames. The reconstruction is performed in real time while the human subject moves arbitrarily in front of ...
متن کاملComparison of Microsoft Kinect TM and Observational Gait Analysis in the Assessment of Gait Parameters of Apparently Healthy Adults
Objectives: The Microsoft KinectTM is reported to have compelling potentials for gait analysis in medicine; however, there are few data on its comparison with observational gait analysis (OGA). This study compared the Microsoft KinectTM and the OGA in the assessment of gait parameters of apparently healthy adults. Methods: Ninety-seven apparently healthy young male adults participated in this ...
