“…Some researchers have developed Kinect-based gesture recognition systems to address the needs in medical surgical rooms. 12,41 Bigdelou et al developed a Kinect-based intra-operative medical image viewer for use in a surgical environment. 12 The system incorporates a gesture recognizer based on kernel regression such that both the categorical information and the state of the gesture can be recognized.…”

Microsoft Kinect, a low-cost motion sensing device, enables users to interact with computers or game consoles naturally through gestures and spoken commands without any other peripheral equipment. As such, it has commanded intense interests in research and development on the Kinect technology. In this paper, we present, a comprehensive survey on Kinect applications, and the latest research and development on motion recognition using data captured by the Kinect sensor. On the applications front, we review the applications of the Kinect technology in a variety of areas, including healthcare, education and performing arts, robotics, sign language recognition, retail services, workplace safety training, as well as 3D reconstructions. On the technology front, we provide an overview of the main features of both versions of the Kinect sensor together with the depth sensing technologies used, and review literatures on human motion recognition techniques used in Kinect applications. We provide a classi¯cation of motion recognition techniques to highlight the di®erent approaches used in human motion recognition. Furthermore, we compile a list of publicly available Kinect datasets. These datasets are valuable resources for researchers to investigate better methods for human motion recognition and lowerlevel computer vision tasks such as segmentation, object detection and human pose estimation.

“…Existing prototypes use different concepts such as mapping the hand position to the position of the mouse pointer and using clicking gestures [70,72]. Other systems analyze gestures of the fingers [71,73], the hands [73,75,74,76,79] or analyze the hand position w.r.t. the body [76].…”

“…Another functionality that has been implemented is the measurement of the size of a structure [71]. Additional functions that have been tested in some prototypes are control of OR parameters such as turning on or off the light [70,79]. One common problem of gesture-based user interfaces is to differentiate between intended and unintended gestures.…”

Abstract. The recent availability of dynamic, dense, and low-cost range imaging has gained widespread interest in health care. It opens up new opportunities and has an increasing impact on both research and commercial activities. This chapter presents a state-of-the-art survey on the integration of modern range imaging sensors into medical applications. The scope is to identify promising applications and methods, and to provide an overview of recent developments in this rapidly evolving domain. The survey covers a broad range of topics, including guidance in computer-assisted interventions, operation room monitoring and workflow analysis, touch-less interaction and on-patient visualization, as well as prevention and support in elderly care and rehabilitation. We put emphasis on dynamic and interactive tasks where real-time and dense 3-D imaging forms the key aspect. While considering different range imaging modalities that fulfill these requirements, we particularly investigate the impact of Time-of-Flight imaging in this domain. Eventually, we discuss practical demands and limitations, and open research issues and challenges that are of fundamental importance for the progression of the field.

“…Point clouds are used in CAD data and robot vision systems. In recent years, inexpensive devices such as Microsoft Kinect [1][2][3][4] that detect 3D point cloud data have become available. Such devices are useful for capturing the motion or modeling systems that do not require high accuracy.…”

Handheld three-dimensional pipe measurement system with a slit-ray projector

We propose a point cloud data acquisition system that employs slit ray projection. In this system, a slit laser projector and a high-resolution CCD camera are connected to a Microsoft Kinect Sensor. The system is sufficiently compact that it can be hand held. In measurements of pipes, the user directs the laser slit ray at the measurement target. Kinect then detects point cloud data while the CCD camera simultaneously detects the laser streak generated on the target surface. The user manually scans the system by directing the laser slit ray along the measurement pipe. The point cloud data obtained by Kinect is used to determine the movement of the system by adjusting overlapping data in consecutive frames using the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm. This permits the system to be freely scanned. The pipe cross section is estimated from data obtained by the slit-ray projection method. The three-dimensional shape of the pipe is constructed on a computer from the obtained cross sections.
