First Meeting with George

First Meeting with George

Impression of the project:
1. Using one/two Kinect sensor(s) to reconstruct human 3D body in real-time.
2. After the initial reconstruction is finished, landmark recognition based on FAST exam should be applied.
3. User interface with sonographer who can indicate extra points of ultrasound scan.

Topics talked about:

  • One or two Kinect?

Lin came up with an idea called Kinect Fusion which used SLAM to track the positon of the camera. It may be over-complicated for starting the project.
By considering the complexity of the project, one Kinect should be a good starting point.
Considerations for choosing number of Kinects:
- Interference b/w two Kinects signal
- Shadowing from single point of view
- Field of view
- Registration b/t two frames from corresponding Kinect

  • FAST only require upper part of body, ignore lower part of body?
Depends on landmarks recognition method (capable for upper part of body).
  • Trajectory planning
Depends on schedule of the project, can be a simulation.

  • Memo
- Once meeting per week, scheduled as individual face-to-face meeting and followed by a big group meeting.
- Kinect for Windows (PC):
