Markerless motion capture system via kinematic analysis of angular lower limb

The introduction of markerless sensor technology in motion capture system offers a comparable alternative to the conventional systems by employing infrared-depth sensors and retaining the ability to acquire two (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) data on human movement. However, its accuracy is often qu...

description The introduction of markerless sensor technology in motion capture system offers a comparable alternative to the conventional systems by employing infrared-depth sensors and retaining the ability to acquire two (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) data on human movement. However, its accuracy is often questioned compared to the established technologies such as passive marker systems. Therefore, this study sets an alternative method to evaluate Kinect Xbox 360 markerless system accuracy based on two positioning coordinates of two pairs of sensors. Through this approach, the length of lower limb segments was measured in 2D and 3D on each motion frame while performing squat movement and compared with the actual segment length. Interestingly, all segment lengths in the 3D showed excellent accuracy with the actual length of the segment. The angle of knee joints was also evaluated to identify the types of squat movements.
