Kinect and IMU Sensors Imprecisions Compensation Method for Human Limbs Tracking

摘要

Microsoft Kinect v.l and inertial measurement units (IMU) became very popular and broadly available depth and inertia estimating devices, which allow home users to detect and track human limbs motion. Due to their working characteristics both of these devices are sufficient for casual scenarios, where precision is not a crucial factor. In the following paper a detailed review of their characteristics, verified by experiments of both devices, is presented, as well as the method of their imprecisions compensation. Comparing with other authors, the obtained limbs tracking accuracy improvement (by 12 %) has proved that elaborated method outperforms other solutions.
