Real-time human-background disambiguation using the Kinect depth sensor

The Kinect/Primesense depth sensor promises to enable the creation of an entire class of affordable yet highly complex and capable mobile robots that can sense and react to their environment in real-time. In particular, we are interested in how the 3D information produced by one or more Kinect senso...

Description
Summary:The Kinect/Primesense depth sensor promises to enable the creation of an entire class of affordable yet highly complex and capable mobile robots that can sense and react to their environment in real-time. In particular, we are interested in how the 3D information produced by one or more Kinect sensors can be used to robustly detect humans in a variety of poses, allowing us to distinguish between stationary background and moving objects in a cluttered indoor environment.
