Pianist Motion Capture with the Kinect Depth Camera
نویسنده
چکیده
Sensing pianist movements is useful for various applications fields such as electronic music, music performance research, musician medicine, and piano pedagogy. This paper contributes an unobtrusive, markerless method to capture pianist movements based on depth sensing. The method was realized using the Kinect depth camera and evaluated in comparison with 2D marker tracking.

Markerless Motion Capture using multiple Color-Depth Sensors
With the advent of the Microsoft Kinect, renewed focus has been put on monocular depth-based motion capturing. However, this approach is limited in that an actor has to move facing the camera. Due to the active light nature of the sensor, no more than one device has been used for motion capturing so far. In effect, any pose estimation must fail for poses occluded to the depth camera. Our work i...
متن کاملTowards a benchmark for RGB-D SLAM evaluation
We provide a large dataset containing RGB-D image sequences and the ground-truth camera trajectories with the goal to establish a benchmark for the evaluation of visual SLAM systems. Our dataset contains the color and depth images of a Microsoft Kinect sensor and the groundtruth trajectory of camera poses. The data was recorded at full frame rate (30 Hz) and sensor resolution (640x480). The gro...
متن کاملTowards Symmetry Axis based Markerless Motion Capture
A natural interaction with virtual environments is one of the key issues for the usability of Virtual Reality applications. Device-free, intuitive interactions with the virtual world can be achieved by capturing the movements of the user with markerless motion capture. In this work we present a markerless motion capture approach which can be used to estimate the human body pose in real-time wit...
متن کاملNew Lower-Limb Gait Asymmetry Indices Based on a Depth Camera
BACKGROUND Various asymmetry indices have been proposed to compare the spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic parameters of lower limbs during the gait cycle. However, these indices rely on gait measurement systems that are costly and generally require manual examination, calibration procedures and the precise placement of sensors/markers on the body of the patient. METHODS To overcome these i...
متن کاملFeasibility of a single camera markerless motion capture system to accurately measure flexion-extension
INTRODUCTION Traditional motion capture techniques use markers to measure movement. However, markers are prone to soft tissue artifact and experimental error [1] as well as possible impedance to natural motion. Another significant challenge is the ability to use optical motion capture systems in a variety of natural setting such as a patient’s home, on the sports field, or in public. This has l...
