My Kinect Is Looking at Me - Application to Rehabilitation

This paper studies the feasibility of using two Kinect sensors, compared to only one, as part of a system of computer-aided rehabilitation. The use of multiple sensors to collect and further process the movements of users, is initially an advantage over the use of a single sensor, but the interference due to the co-existence of two sensors in the same scene must be considered. The purpose of this paper is to determine how overlapping of several beams of infrared light affect the capture of users, in function of the angle of incidence and the distance to the targets. The paper also examines whether the use of two Kinect sensors increases the accuracy of the data collected and the range of action of the sensors.
