TL;DR: Overall Kinect 2 has more robust and more accurate tracking of human pose as compared to Kinect 1, and is compared with an optical motion capture system.
Abstract: Microsoft Kinect camera and its skeletal tracking capabilities have been embraced by many researchers and commercial developers in various applications of real-time human movement analysis. In this paper, we evaluate the accuracy of the human kinematic motion data in the first and second generation of the Kinect system, and compare the results with an optical motion capture system. We collected motion data in 12 exercises for 10 different subjects and from three different viewpoints. We report on the accuracy of the joint localization and bone length estimation of Kinect skeletons in comparison to the motion capture. We also analyze the distribution of the joint localization offsets by fitting a mixture of Gaussian and uniform distribution models to determine the outliers in the Kinect motion data. Our analysis shows that overall Kinect 2 has more robust and more accurate tracking of human pose as compared to Kinect 1.

22 Aug 2016TL;DR: This paper considers a cloudlet in an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) system with multiple mobile devices, where the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms per- resource optimization, accommodating more offloading requests while achieving salient energy saving.
Abstract: In mobile edge computing systems, mobile devices can offload compute-intensive tasks to a nearby \emph{cloudlet}, so as to save energy and extend battery life. Unlike a fully-fledged cloud, a cloudlet is a small-scale datacenter deployed at a wireless access point, and thus is highly constrained by both radio and compute resources. We show in this paper that separately optimizing the allocation of either compute or radio resource - as most existing works did - is highly \emph{suboptimal}: the congestion of compute resource leads to the waste of radio resource, and vice versa. To address this problem, we propose a joint scheduling algorithm that allocates both radio and compute resources coordinately. Specifically, we consider a cloudlet in an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) system with multiple mobile devices, where we study subcarrier allocation for task offloading and CPU time allocation for task execution in the cloudlet. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms per- resource optimization, accommodating more offloading requests while achieving salient energy saving.
