Object detection using depth information from Kinect sensor

This paper investigates the detection of object using depth information that obtained from Kinect sensor. Type and distance of object have been investigated in order to find the best parameter in detecting objects. Two types of object are experimented; shiny and curved shape of object and dull and flat shape of object. Various distances of objects from the Kinect have been tested. From the results obtained, incorrect detection of object has been occurred when using object with shiny and curve shape. It also shows that the optimum distance of object from the Kinect is in the range of 4 feet to 5 feet.
