Since the arrival of Microsoft Kinect for the XBOX 360, depth cameras created new possibilities for software developers and researchers to use democratized “skeletal tracking” capabilities to understand the human body. With the announcement of Kinect for Azure, the ecosystem providing intelligence and perception capabilities on the edge is getting richer and it is a good time to understand what developers can do with Skeletal Tracking.
This session will discuss skeletal tracking and introduce some simple math concepts that are helpful to reason on the provided tracking data. Tips and guidance how to build applications that work with skeletal tracking systems will empower developers to get started immediately.
Attendees will learn about specific scenarios like human posture recognition, fall detection, or energy expenditure estimation for sports applications and how those scenarios can be implemented in their own applications.
