Kinect Shoulder Detection

The Kinect Shoulder Detection project aims at developing software to be used in detecting and storing shoulder and torso position with accuracy and precision.



Problem Statement
Currently the ArmAssist system being used for therapy does not track torso or shoulder movement while a patient is using the station. If the patient were to not be monitored while using the ArmAssist station, they could cheat and hinder their therapy.

Shoulder Detection Program (SDP)

 * The following features are a must to solve the problem statement.
 * Calibration to gather base data to be used when calculating an acceptable range of movement for the user.
 * Collection of data during runtime relating to a specified shoulder as well as the torso to improve accuracy and precision in measurements.
 * Storage of x, y, and z coordinates during runtime that are being recorded as quickly as possible.
