Human motion tracking & evaluation using Kinect V2 sensor

Abstract

Microsoft Kinect V2 sensor is a motion sensing device that provides to the users a facility to interact with computers and game consoles through many ways like natural movement, gestures or spoken commands. This technology allowed many researchers and companies to develop real-time applications in various fields like healthcare, sports training, facial emotion detection, gaming, security, 3D reconstruction, motion recognition and many other. In this paper, we presented an approach to handle the problem of human body motion skeletal tracking with application in medical rehabilitation and sports training by using capabilities of the latest version of the Microsoft Kinect sensor.
