In modern life, human–computer interaction has received the most interest from researchers, especially in developing new interaction methods. Microsoft’s Kinect sensor, which has integrated red-green-blue and depth (RGB+D) cameras, opens up new possibilities As well, many three-dimensional (3D) applications have been developed fashioning the computer world more natural and real for the user. In...

The robotics community is increasingly making use of human motion capture and joint tracking analysis. This study aims to assess the potential of employing a camera system to study upper-body joint motions by comparing the joint tracking abilities of a dual-Kinect system and a Vicon 3D Motion Capture system. Such motion data can be used to train a robot with data collected from humans performin...

Bu çalışma kapsamında önerilen sistem ile hem ayna karşısında geçirilen vaktin daha zevkli bir hale getirilmesi, de kullanıcılar hazırlanırken ihtiyaç duydukları hava durumu, saat, haberler gibi bilgilere erişebilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmada Kinect sensörü kullanılarak akıllı prototipi geliştirilmiştir. Önerilen sisteminde temel olarak güncel haberleri, durumunu, döviz kurlarını, tarih bilg...

In this paper we evaluate a system based on the Microsoft Kinect™ sensor, aimed at automatic detection of risk postures during human work activities. We first introduce pick and place task, where three different lateral standing subjects move light cardboard boxes from various levels bookcase to its top, then putting them back their original places. They repeat task over several cycles capture ...

This study proposes a mathematical uncertainty model for the spatial measurement of visual features using Kinect™ sensors. This model can provide qualitative and quantitative analysis for the utilization of Kinect™ sensors as 3D perception sensors. In order to achieve this objective, we derived the propagation relationship of the uncertainties between the disparity image space and the real Cart...

In recent years, the videogame industry has been characterized by a great boost in gesture recognition and motion tracking, following the increasing request of creating immersive game experiences. The Microsoft Kinect sensor allows acquiring RGB, IR and depth images with a high frame rate. Because of the complementary nature of the information provided, it has proved an attractive resource for ...

This article describes the design and development ofa system for remote indoor 3D monitoring using an undetermined number of Microsoft® Kinect sensors. In the proposed client-server system, the Kinect cameras can be connected to different computers, addressing this way the hardware limitation of one sensor per USB controller. The reason behind this limitation is the high bandwidth needed by the...

Consumer devices used in the home are capable of collecting ever more information from users, including audio and video. The Microsoft Kinect is particularly well-designed for tracking user speech and motion. In this paper, we explore the ability of current models of the Kinect to support use as an automatic speech recognizer (ASR). Lip reading is known to be difficult due to the many possible ...
