How does Kinect know what I do?

J. Shotton, J. Winn, C. Rother, A. Criminisi, TextonBoost: Joint Appearance, Shape and Context Modeling for Multi-Class Object Recognition and Segmentation. European Conference on Computer Vision, 2006

Microsoft Research: Object Recognition

Microsoft Research: Human Body Tracking Wide range of

motion But limited agility And not real-time Infinite number of

movements

R Navaratnam, A Fitzgibbon, R Cipolla The Joint Manifold Model for Semi-supervised Multi-valued RegressionIEEE Intl Conf on Computer Vision, 2007

XBox calls MSR: September 2008“We need a body tracker with

All body motions…All agilities…10x Real-time…For multiple players…… and it has to be 3D ”

MSR’s response?

Teach the Computer/Machine LearningStep 1: Collect A LOT of Data

Teams visit households across the globe, filming real users

Hollywood motion capture studio generates billions of CG images

Training Data

Play Space

Field of View and Operational Area

• Play Space: Ideally need 12ft x 12ft of play space though you can make do with 10ft x 10ft

• Player Position: Ideally is 6-10 feet away from camera

Lighting and Environment

• Fluorescent or LED lighting are recommended• No direct light on player• No direct light into sensor lens• In a stage environment, all lights need to be

Infrared-filtered• To avoid lighting noise do not intersect sensor lens

fields of view• Avoid playing in/next to reflective surfaces

Clothing Considerations

• Avoid anything that conceals your arms or legs

• Avoid wearing flowing clothing such as scarves or long dresses and skirts– Long skirts hide the legs and scarves are often

mistaken for arms

• Avoid baggy jackets or overly baggy clothing• Generally, anything that hides the human form

should be removed for optimal game play• If players with long hair are having difficulty

playing, encourage them to pull their hair back and try playing again

RGB Camera Fundamentals

Camera Data

RGB stream Format• Upto 640 x 480 resolution• Upto 32 bits per pixel • Data contained in ImageFrame.Image.Bits• Array of bytes public byte[] Bits;• Array– Starts at top left of image– Moves left to right, then top to bottom

Stride

Stride - # of bytes from one row of pixels in memory to the next

Depth Camera Fundamentals

Camera Data

Depth Map Format• 320 x 240 resolution• 16 bits per pixel

– Upper 13 bits: depth in mm: 800 mm to 4000 mm range– Lower 3 bits: segmentation mask

• Depth value 0 means unknown– Shadows, low reflectivity, and high reflectivity among the few reasons

• Segmentation index– 0 – no player– 1 – skeleton 0– 2 – skeleton 1– …

Joints • Maximum two players tracked at once

– Six player proposals

• Each player with set of <x, y, z> joints in meters• Each joint has associated state

– Tracked, Not tracked, or Inferred

• Inferred - Occluded, clipped, or low confidence joints• Not Tracked - Rare, but your code must check for this state
