Wireless Full-Body Capturing for Sport Analytics

With 11 inertial measurement units, the full body motion of a person is tracked during climbing. Potential applications are sports analysis and coaching. Further research will focus on detecting the limbs and body parts in the head mounted camera and use this as additional information for obtaining more precise tracking results. The system has been developed within the European project COGNITO (www.ict-cognito.org)

Kinect Avatar
We present a novel scanning system for capturing a full 3D human body model using just a single depth camera and no auxiliary equipment. We claim that data captured from a single Kinect is sufficient to produce a good quality full 3D human model. In this setting, the challenges we face are the sensor’s low resolution with random noise and the subject’s non-rigid movement when capturing the data. To overcome these challenges, we develop an improved superresolution algorithm that takes color constraints into account. We then align the super-resolved scans using a combination of automatic rigid and non-rigid registration. As the system is of low price and obtains impressive results in several minutes, full 3D human body scanning technology can now become more accessible to everyday users at home
