Real-time remote monitoring system has an important value in many surveillance situations. It allows someone to be informed of what is happening in his monitoring locations. Kinect v2 is a new kind of camera which gives computers eyes and can generate different data such as color and depth images, audio input and skeletal data. In this paper, using Kinect v2 sensor with its depth image, we present a monitoring system in a space covered by Kinect. Therefore, based on space covered by Kinect camera, we define a target area to monitor using depth range by setting minimum and maximum distances. With computer vision library (Emgu CV), if there is an object tracked in the target space, kinect camera captures the whole image color and sends it in database and user gets at the same time a notification on his mobile device wherever he is with internet access.

In this paper, a low-cost dynamic measurement system using the RGB-depth camera, Microsoft $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2, is proposed for measuring time-varying free surface motion of liquid dampers used in building vibration mitigation. Various experimental studies are conducted consecutively: performance evaluation and validation of the $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2, real-time monitoring using the $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2 SDK(software development kits), point cloud acquisition of liquid free surface in the 3D space, comparison with the existing video sensing technology. Utilizing the proposed $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2-based measurement system in this study, dynamic behavior of liquid in a laboratory-scaled small tank under a wide frequency range of input excitation is experimentally analyzed.

Kinect sensor version 2 is a kind of camera released by Microsoft as a computer vision and a natural user interface for game consoles like Xbox one. It allows acquiring color images, depth images, audio input and skeletal data with a high frame rate. In this paper, using depth image, we present a surveillance system of a certain area within Kinect's field of view. With computer vision library(Emgu CV), if an object is detected in the target area, it is tracked and kinect camera takes RGB image to send it in database server. Therefore, a mobile application on android platform was developed in order to notify the user that Kinect has sensed strange motion in the target region and display the RGB image of the scene. User gets the notification in real-time to react in the best way in the case of valuable things in monitored area or other cases related to a reserved zone.

Face detection is still a challenging task under severe face pose variations in complex background. This paper proposes an effective algorithm which can detect single or multiple faces based on skin color detection and depth information. We introduce Gaussian mixture model(GMM) for skin color detection in a color image. The depth information is from three dimensional depth sensor of Kinect V2 device, and is useful in segmenting a human body from the background. Then, a labeling process successfully removes non-face region using several features. Experimental results show that the proposed face detection algorithm can provide robust detection performance even under variable conditions and complex background.

This paper investigates applicability of Microsoft $Kinect^{(R)}$, RGB-depth camera, to implement a 3D image and spatial information for sensing a target. The relationship between the image of the Kinect camera and the pixel coordinate system is formulated. The calibration of the camera provides the depth and RGB information of the target. The intrinsic parameters are calculated through a checker board experiment and focal length, principal point, and distortion coefficient are obtained. The extrinsic parameters regarding the relationship between the two Kinect cameras consist of rotational matrix and translational vector. The spatial images of 2D projection space are converted to a 3D images, resulting on spatial information on the basis of the depth and RGB information. The measurement is verified through comparison with the length and location of the 2D images of the target structure.

Computer vision is coming more interesting with new imaging sensors' new capabilities which enable it to understand more its surrounding environment by imitating human vision system with artificial intelligence techniques. In this paper, we made experiments with Kinect camera, a new depth sensor for object detection and distance measurement functions, most essential functions in computer vision such as for unmanned or manned vehicles, robots, drones, etc. Therefore, Kinect camera is used here to estimate the position or the location of objects in its field of view and measure the distance from them to its depth sensor in an accuracy way by checking whether that the detected object is real object or not to reduce processing time ignoring pixels which are not part of real object. Tests showed promising results with such low-cost range sensor, Kinect camera which can be used for object detection and distance measurement which are fundamental functions in computer vision applications for further processing.

인물의 위치와 행동을 인식하는 것은 여러 분야의 서비스에서 활용할 수 있는 기술이다. 그렇기에 다양한 방식으로 연구되어 왔다. 기존의 방식은 일반 RGB 카메라의 영상에 영상처리 기법과 딥러닝을 사용하여 3차원 공간상의 인물 위치를 인식하는 방식과 라이다와 같이 깊이를 인식 할 수 있는 장치를 활용하여 3차원 공간상 인물의 위치를 인식하는 방식이 있다. 각각의 방식은 RGB 카메라를 이용할 수 있다는 장점, 인식률이 우수하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 영상처리 방식은 연산량이 많아 실시간 서비스에 불리하다는 한계점이 있다. 라이다 방식은 기기의 부피가 커 공간제약이 있다는 점과 이동이 불편하다 있다는 한계점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Kinect와 openFrameworks를 활용하여 공간이 효율적이고 연산량이 적은 방식의 3차원 공간에서 인물 위치 인식과 실시간 이동에 대한 방향 인식을 다룬다.

The video-assisted human action recognition [1] field is one of the most active ones in computer vision research. Since the depth data [2] obtained by Kinect cameras has more benefits than traditional RGB data, research on human action detection has recently increased because of the Kinect camera. We conducted a systematic study of strategies for recognizing human activity based on deep data in this article. All methods are grouped into deep map tactics and skeleton tactics. A comparison of some of the more traditional strategies is also covered. We then examined the specifics of different depth behavior databases and provided a straightforward distinction between them. We address the advantages and disadvantages of depth and skeleton-based techniques in this discussion.

In this study, we propose a method for detecting fall behavior using MS Kinect v2 RGBD Camera-based Human-Skeleton Keypoints and a 2-Stacked Bi-LSTM model. In previous studies, skeletal information was extracted from RGB images using a deep learning model such as OpenPose, and then recognition was performed using a recurrent neural network model such as LSTM and GRU. The proposed method receives skeletal information directly from the camera, extracts 2 time-series features of acceleration and distance, and then recognizes the fall behavior using the 2-Stacked Bi-LSTM model. The central joint was obtained for the major skeletons such as the shoulder, spine, and pelvis, and the movement acceleration and distance from the floor were proposed as features of the central joint. The extracted features were compared with models such as Stacked LSTM and Bi-LSTM, and improved detection performance compared to existing studies such as GRU and LSTM was demonstrated through experiments.

본 논문에서는 실사 영상 기반으로 3D 영상을 생성하기 위하여 효율적으로 다시점 영상을 획득하는 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 시스템은 대부분 다수의 카메라를 이용하여 다시점 영상을 획득하는 구조이다. 이 경우 각 카메라 간의 정합(calibration)을 수행해야 할 뿐만 아니라 스테레오 매칭을 통해 깊이 정보를 추출하는 과정이 필요하다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 카메라는 고정시킨 상태에서 촬영하고자 하는 객체를 턴테이블 위에 놓고 회전시키면서 촬영한다. 카메라는 Microsoft에서 출시한 컬러 정보와 깊이 정보를 동시에 얻을 수 있는 키넥트(Kinect) v2를 사용한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 시스템이 기존 시스템보다 다시점 영상을 효율적으로 생성하는 것을 확인하였다.
