研究目的
To explore and develop a motion capture system using Microsoft Kinect, focusing on developing the interface, motion capture protocol as well as measurement analysis.
研究成果
The study successfully developed interface and protocol for the Microsoft Kinect system. The system's repeatability and reproducibility has been evaluated prior to analysing the X-shape posture movement and the results prove that this aim has been achieved successfully. The measuring system has demonstrated an error of less than 5% variance; thus highlighting the potential of the Microsoft Kinect System to serve as an alternative low cost motion capture and analysis with reasonable accuracy.
研究不足
The main challenges include interfacing of Microsoft Kinect and MATLAB R2013a, developing protocol for subjects and operators, synchronising time of capture and storing data. Moreover, even though the experiments are performed in static condition; during the motion capture, any small movement is also detected and thus could lead to inaccurate tracking.
