A survey on human motion capturing (HMC) system based on distributed computing technology with flexible architecture

Abstract

The evolution in people and technology over a period of time has resulted in the current day situation where based on the posture of the human being, the probable diseases to which he is prone can be predicted. In present day scenario where applications involving healthcare sectors, military sectors to entertainment sectors, the detection and recognition of human movements and gestures has become more prevalent than before due to its widespread applications. The applicability of posture detection system is realized using the Human Motion Capture (HMC) system. To better understand the features of HMC, In in this paper a general working of a HMC system is given, consecutively, a brief review of literature along with the research methodologies and techniques are provided for each stage constituting the HMC system. The research gap and the future scope of the HMC system is also mentioned with corresponding research challenges.
