Measurement of Human Locomotion: Evaluation of Low-Cost KINECT and SHIMMER Sensors

Abstract:

In this paper the OptiTrack-Motion Capture System, the Microsoft KINECT sensor system and SHIMMER sensors are evaluated with respect to their applicability to the measurement of human locomotion in 3D-space. The both sensor systems KINECT and SHIMMER are evaluated with respect to the accuracy and precision of any measurement, to their repeatability and reliability of raw data, to the consistency of the underlying kinematical model. The OptiTrack system is used only as a reference for the other two sensor types (gold standard). Several experiments are explained and analyzed. Problems and ways to overcome them as well as their adaptability to different application fields are discussed.
