Description
Summary:The movement analysis of the human body is an interesting task for applications in rehabilitation assisted by robots and robotic manipulation. This paper presents a simplified system using the Kinect sensor and simple image processing algorithms for the extraction of identification points. Experiments were conducted to identify whether the sensor has good characteristics for the considered applications. A repeatability experiment were carried out and its results indicate that the sensor can be used to measure three-dimensional identification points distances regarding the applications requirements within the operational range from 0.5m up to 2m.
