This paper describes a methodology for obtaining a high resolution dense point cloud using Kinect (J. Smisek and Pajdla, 2011) and HD cameras. Kinect produces a VGA resolution photograph and a noisy point cloud. But high resolution images of the same scene can easily be obtained using additional HD cameras. We combine the information to generate a high resolution dense point cloud. First, we do...

This paper reviews technical and clinical impact of the Microsoft Kinect in physical therapy and rehabilitation. It covers the studies on patients with neurological disorders including stroke, Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, and MS as well as the elderly patients. Search results in Pubmed and Google scholar reveal increasing interest in using Kinect in medical application. Relevant papers are revi...

This paper summarizes the recent progress we have made for the computer vision technologies in physical therapy with the accessible and affordable devices. We first introduce the remote health coaching system we build with Microsoft Kinect. Since the motion data captured by Kinect is noisy, we investigate the data accuracy of Kinect with respect to the high accuracy motion capture system. We al...

aim and background: a child adhd is one of the most common child psychiatric disorders. lack of drug treatment of the before mentioned disorder may leads to various problems in children because of weight gain. methods and materials: methodology used in this research is quasi-experimental intervention study which has done by using two experimental and control groups. our research population was ...

OBJECTIVE To compare optical motion capture system (MoCap), attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) sensor, and Microsoft Kinect for the continuous measurement of cervical range of motion (ROM). METHODS Fifteen healthy adult subjects were asked to sit in front of the Kinect camera with optical markers and AHRS sensors attached to the body in a room equipped with optical motion capture ca...

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...
