2P1-P08 Study on Identification of People and 3D Position Measurement with Ultrasonic Sensors and Kinect sensors(Digital Human)

Abstract

This paper describes a method for 3D position measurement and identification of people by integrating ultrasonic sensors and Kinect sensors. Using ultrasonic transmitter tags with unique identifiers, ultrasonic sensor can measure 3D position and identify tagged people. But the sensor can't measure if there are not receivers in direction of ultrasonic waves from a transmitter. Kinect sensor can measure 3D positions of people and tracking them with OpenNI. But the sensor can't measure if occlusion occurs due to the overlapping people. The evaluation results show that the proposed method is more robust than methods using only ultrasonic sensor or only Kinect sensor.
