Motion measurement using Azure Kinect

We conducted walking measurements using two Azure Kinect devices. Please make use of the insights gained from this process.

【Motion Measurement with Azure Kinect】 Our company has successfully utilized the Azure Kinect, the successor to Kinect 2, with our technology, achieving the potential to use it as a markerless 3D motion measurement system. We have already published an overview of the insights gained during this process, so please refer to our catalog. This time, we conducted actual walking measurements. Below, we outline the issues encountered during the experiments and the countermeasures taken, as well as examples of walking measurement results, which are introduced in the catalog. If you are interested, please contact us. 【Issues Encountered】 Errors may occur during the startup process when powering on the Azure Kinect, depending on the conditions of the capture range, and it may become impossible to recover from these errors. This happens when there are objects within the field of view that the Azure Kinect cannot measure. Specifically, this includes objects that are either too close or too far away. Errors also occur when the sky is within the field of view. 【Countermeasures】 It is necessary to follow quite complex procedures to recover from this issue. If you are having trouble with this matter, please contact us.
