Characterisation of soil micro-topography using a depth camera

Cosmogenic nuclides, topography, and the spatial variation of soil depth

If the rate of bedrock conversion to a mobile layer of soil depends on the local thickness of soil, then hillslopes on uniform bedrock in a landscape approaching dynamic equilibrium should be mantled by a uniform thickness of soil. Conversely, if the depth of soil varies across an actively eroding landscape, then rates of soil production will also vary and, consequently the landscape will not b...

Soil genesis as affected by topography and depth of saline and sodic ground water under semiarid conditions of iran

Sleep Detection Using a Depth Camera

The work at hand presents a method to assess the quality of human sleep within a non-laboratory environment. The monitoring of patients is performed with a Kinect device, thus making the method non-invasive independent of immediate physical contact to subjects. The results of a study carried out as proof of concept are discussed and compared with the polysomnography-based gold standard of sleep...

Augmented Piano Performance using a Depth Camera

We augment the piano keyboard with a 3D gesture space using Microsoft Kinect for sensing and top-down projection for visual feedback. This interface provides multi-axial gesture controls to enable continuous adjustments to multiple acoustic parameters such as those on the typical digital synthesizers. We believe that using gesture control is more visceral and aesthetically pleasing, especially ...
