Human Motion Capture Using Data Fusion of Multiple Skeleton Data

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 8192))

Abstract

Joint advent of affordable color and depth sensors and super-realtime skeleton detection, has produced a surge of research on Human Motion Capture. They provide a very important key to communication between Man and Machine. But the design was willing and closed-loop interaction, which allowed approximations and mandates a particular sensor setup. In this paper, we present a multiple sensor-based approach, designed to augment the robustness and precision of human joint positioning, based on delayed logic and filtering, of skeleton detected on each sensor.
