In many application cases, 2D human postures display
haven’t been able to meet people’s requirements which is failure
to show human motions comprehensive, image and vivid.
However, 3D human Postures display could restore and show
human motions well, which is convenient for people to observe
and learn human motions. This paper presents a method to
recognize 3D human postures by using Microsoft Kinect sensor.
Kinect is used as a capturing device. Capturing 3D human
features mainly uses depth images obtained from Kinect sensor.
Each pixel of depth images contains three-dimensional coordinate
information of camera’s scenes. Finally, the captured 3D human
postures can be displayed by employing a human skeletal joints
model and using a LED cube.
