DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AND TRACKING MULTIPLE HUMANS OVER TIME
First Claim
1. A system for recognizing, analyzing and tracking at least one user in a capture area, comprising:
- at least one depth camera providing a depth image of the capture area;
at least one RGB camera providing an RGB image of the capture area; and
at least one processor that receives the depth image and the RGB image and that processes the depth image and the RGB image to recognize the at least one user and to track movement of the at least one user over time.

Abstract
A system recognizes human beings in their natural environment, without special sensing devices attached to the subjects, uniquely identifies them and tracks them in three dimensional space. The resulting representation is presented directly to applications as a multi-point skeletal model delivered in real-time. The device efficiently tracks humans and their natural movements by understanding the natural mechanics and capabilities of the human muscular-skeletal system. The device also uniquely recognizes individuals in order to allow multiple people to interact with the system via natural movements of their limbs and body as well as voice commands/responses.

13. A method for tracking a human user in a capture area, comprising:
-
receiving from at least one depth camera a depth image of the capture area; receiving from at least one RGB camera an RGB image of the capture area; and recognizing and tracking the movement of the user in the capture area over time based on the depth image and the RGB image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable storage medium on which is stored computer-executable instructions for tracking a human user in a capture area, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to:
-
receive from at least one depth camera a depth image of the capture area; receive from at least one microphone information about sound emanating from the capture area; receive from at least one RGB camera an RGB image of the capture area; and recognize and track the movement of the user in the capture area over time based on a combination of at least two of the depth image, the RGB image and the sound information.
