Abstract-The paper presents a proposal of sensor fusion combining data derived from a Kinect device and highprecision sensors. The main idea was to enhance the tracking of a human arm in order to obtain precise coordinates. The Kinect plays the role of a calibration device and sensors' data are used in kinematics equations for enhanced tracking of the arm. This way the resulting information has less uncertainty and can be directly transmitted to another system, e.g. robotics one. The system has been implemented using kinematics-based approach with transformation operators as well as quaternions. In terms of accuracy the main result is that the Kinect performs very similar with sensors.
Abstract-This article proposes a laser beam encoding method that is used to control an augmented reality system. Experiments were performed using a red laser emitting a wavelength of λ = 650 nm and a power of P = 3 mW. The purpose of the study was to investigate the methods of modulation and demodulation of the encoded laser signal, and to examine the influence of parameters such as laser pulse duration, camera image resolution, the number of recorded frames per second on the demodulation result of the optical signal.The results show that the proposed coding method provides the transmission of the necessary information in a single laser beam (no less than 36 codes with a decoding efficiency of 99.9%). The developed coding method enables, based on the sequence analysis of video images, the influence on the course of the simulation performed in augmented reality, including distinguishing players and actions taken by them. This is an important advancement in relation to interaction systems used to influence augmented reality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
