A novel approach to low cost, wide range motion capture system: Validation and application to human behavior analysis

From new hardware arise possibilities to develop novel methods of monitoring human behavior. In this paper we present a low cost system using two RGB-D cameras in a 3m × 8m space. Using developed software, we are able to easily collect, combine, visualize, modify, and analyze data. To validate the system, we measured human behavior in a walking experiment (N = 11). The data obtained from the system showed an accurate measurement and validated our approach for Human Interaction analysis.
