Cheerful jumping shot for happiness detection

Cheerful jumping is a kind of exaggerative behavior that implies human is surrounding in a short-term happiness. To capture the cheerful jumping manually in an instance by smartphone camera is still not well-functional. In this paper, we proposes a Kinect framework by using three key elements, including skeleton tracking, depth and color information in Kinect to explore the cheerful jumping shot, of which the framework fundamentally measures the sensed mapping displacement of jumping to-and-fro among the skeleton tracking system, depth and color information. Besides, a threshold λ is proposed to evaluate the users whose different jumping capabilities in different gender. The experimental result indicates the proposed work is able to capture more sharpen jumping result compared to the general smartphone camera.
