Abstract

A method is proposed to validate Microsoft’s Kinect as a device and, hence, to enable low fidelity, unobtrusive, robust sensing of behavior. The Xsens MVN suit is proposed as the measurements’ ground truth. An overarching framework is introduced that facilitates a mapping of both devices upon each other. This framework includes a complete processing pipeline for both the Xsens and the Kinect data, recorded in parallel, which, at the end of both pipelines, are mapped upon reach other. Next, two strategies are presented that aim to interpret the data gathered. We close with a brief discussion on the pros and cons of the protocol proposed.
