Quantifying Human Activity Using Head Tracking

This research focuses on quantifying human activity for healthcare applications. Distance traveled, average velocity, and postures are the primary focus. A Microsoft Kinect V2 camera was used to collect data for analysis. By tracking the human head, position relative to the camera can be determined. Accuracy of at least 87% was achieved for distance traveled and average velocity measurements. For posture detection, accuracy of at least 80% was achieved.
