Abstract

Human limb movement sensing is crucial in different areas of science. In this paper, a method for sensing human limb movement and the subsequent reconstruction in a 3-D plane is described. The sensors used in this task are four Microsoft Kinect, which has depth and RGB cameras. Depth images are processed by artificial vision algorithms to delimit an area where the movements will be performed. In the other hand, RGB images are processed by a Convolutional Neural Network to acquire a series of specific points which correspond to the human body’s joints. A comparison of the proposed algorithm performance is also described. The equations that relate the information in two dimensions are obtained by processing the four sensors are used to generate a skeleton in 3-D.
