Abstract

Is low-cost tracking precise enough for recognition
of pointing actions? We investigate the quality of the human body
tracking available with a Kinect camera by comparing it to a
state-of-the-art motion capture system. The application is action
recognition with parametric hidden Markov Models (PHMMs)
for programming industrial robots. The data from the Kinect
is overall more noisy and potentially requires calibration. In
conclusion, though, we believe the quality will be sufficient for
use with PHMMs.
