Design methodology
an experiment had been conducted to evaluate the Microsoft kinect sensor depth distance for default range and near range.
A kincet sensor is placed on the floor and al so a long piece of ruler tape orthogonal to the kincet's field of view.
the measurements are marked along the piece of tape from 200mm to 4000mm from the sensor.
a cardboard box is placed in the center of the kincet's field of view for each hash; from 200 mm all the way back to 4000mm.
