Abstract

Many motion analysis systems which have been introduced in the past few years are currently receiving interests from researchers and developers due to their usefulness and wide application capability in the future. However, many of those systems meet with difficulties for the real applications because of high cost for the implementation and less accuracy. This paper introduces a new 3D motion analysis system which can be implemented at a lower cost and acceptable accuracy for various applications. The key component of our new system is the use of the MSK (Microsoft Kinect) sensor system which is equipped with both visual camera and infrared camera. It can provide the color image, the 3D depth image and the 3D skeleton data without wearing any marker device on the human body while it can provide acceptable accuracy in 3D motion trace at low cost. Our system can be exploited for a base framework for various 3D motion-based applications such as physical rehabilitation support, sport motion analysis and biomechanical applications.
