Human Posture Estimation using Visual Information

Human-robot cooperation is one of the central research issues in robotics.All kinds of sensors will be used since the robot should understand human's intention.This article will focus on the human posture estimation by using Microsoft Kinect.The visual Information from Kinect can be acquired and used to extract the human skeletal information and further,calculate the human posture.The experiment results have been compared with a Qualisys system,which has been proved quite precisely.
