Abstract
AbstractThe currently available commercial motion capture systems are constrained by space requirement and thus pose difficulties when used in developing kinematic description of human movements within the existing manufacturing and production cells. The Kinect sensor does not share similar limitations but it is not as accurate. The proposition made in this article is to adopt the Kinect sensor in to facilitate implementation of Health Engineering concepts to industrial environments. This article is an evaluation of the Kinect sensor accuracy when providing three dimensional kinematic data. The sensor is thus utilized to assist in modeling and simulation of worker performance within an industrial cell. For this purpose, Kinect 3D data was compared to that of Vicon motion capture system in a gait analysis laboratory. Results indicated that the Kinect sensor exhibited a coefficient of determination of 0.9996 on the depth axis and 0.9849 along the horizontal axis and 0.2767 on vertical axis. The results prove the competency of the Kinect sensor to be used in the industrial environments.
