The applications of Microsoft Kinect for human motion capture and analysis : A review

Microsoft Kinect is one of the inventions used in various applications including human motion capture. In this paper, the processes involved for human motion capture and analysis using Microsoft Kinect is demonstrated through a review. This review includes the data acquisition protocol, data collection and data analysis based on the computer vision field. This paper is focused on rehabilitation and biomechanics application through human motion analysis.
