Precision analysis of kinect to measure the motion of the upper body and calibration based on deep learning
摘要
This study analyzed the characteristics of the Kinect sensor developed for video games as a motion capture device. In addition, a calibration method was developed using deep learning technique to improve the precision of the Kinect while maintaining its convenience: no marker, low cost, easy-to-install, etc. When the proposed calibration scheme was applied to four types of arm exercises for three subjects, measurement errors were reduced by 68 % for shoulder movements and 43 % for elbow movements. Also, the measurement precision for shoulder flexion and abduction was improved up to 4 degrees, which sufficiently satisfied the requirement of rehabilitation exercises for patients with frozen shoulder.
