On the use of the Kinect sensor for human identification in smart environments

摘要: This work is framed into the context of ambient intelligence applications, a general definition which usually refers to applications aimed at embedding technology in environment and enriching it with capability recognizing people adapting itself user specific needs preferences. One basic requirement for this kind unobtrusiveness: recognition personalization should not be perceived by user, performed while he/she performs normal daily activities. Biometric particularly suited provided that suitable characteristics are exploited. The aim paper evaluate, application scenario, possibility performing automatic person identification using data collected Kinect sensor. In particular, starting from sequence frames, face anthropometric measurements considered individuals. Extensive experiments show feasibility such applications.
