El documento describe el desarrollo de Kinect por parte de Microsoft Research y Xbox. Explica que Kinect utiliza una cámara RGB, un sensor de profundidad y micrófonos para reconocer gestos, movimientos y voz. También describe cómo Kinect fue entrenado con millones de imágenes y datos para reconocer el esqueleto humano en tiempo real a través de aprendizaje automático y visión por computadora.

Color VGA video camera - This video camera aids in facial recognition and other detection features by detecting three color components: red, green and blue. Microsoft calls this an "RGB camera" referring to the color components it detects.Depth sensor - An infrared projector and a monochrome CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor work together to "see" the room in 3-D regardless of the lighting conditions. Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) (pronounced /ˈsiːmɒs/) is a technology for constructing integrated circuits. CMOS technology is used in microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits. CMOS technology is also used for several analog circuits such as image sensors, data converters, and highly integrated transceivers for many types of communicationMulti-array microphone - This is an array of four microphones that can isolate the voices of the players from the noise in the room. This allows the player to be a few feet away from the microphone and still use voice controls.What comes in the boxKinect sensor for Xbox 360Power supply cableUser's manualWi-Fi extension cableKinect Adventures gameColor VGA Motion Camera 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30FPSDepth Camera 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30FPSArray of 4 microphones supporting single speaker voice recognitionKinect's software layer is the essential component to add meaning to what the hardware detects. When you first start up Kinect, it reads the layout of your room and configures the play space you'll be moving in. Then, Kinect detects and tracks 32 points on each player's body, mapping them to a digital reproduction of that player's body shape and skeletal structure, including facial details.http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/microsoft-kinect3.htmhttp://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2010-01/exclusive-inside-microsofts-project-natalKinect Software Learns from "Experience"Kinect's software layer is the essential component to add meaning to what the hardware detects. When you first start up Kinect, it reads the layout of your room and configures the play space you'll be moving in. Then, Kinect detects and tracks 48 points on each player's body, mapping them to a digital reproduction of that player's body shape and skeletal structure, including facial details [source: Rule].In an interview with Scientific American, Alex Kipman, Microsoft's Director of Incubation for Xbox 360, explains Project Natal's approach to developing the Kinect software. Kipman explains, "Every single motion of the body is an input," which creates seemingly endless combinations of actions [source: Kuchinskas]. Knowing this, developers decided not to program that seemingly endless combination into pre-established actions and reactions in the software. Instead, it would "teach" the system how to react based on how humans learn: by classifying the gestures of people in the real world.To start the teaching process, Kinect developers gathered massive amounts of data from motion-capture in real-life scenarios. Then, they processed that data using a machine-learning algorithm by Jamie Shotton, a researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge in England. Ultimately, the developers were able to map the data to models representing people of different ages, body types, genders and clothing. With select data, developers were able to teach the system to classify the skeletal movements of each model, emphasizing the joints and distances between those joints. An article in Popular Science describes the four steps Kinect's "brain" goes through 30 times per second to read and respond to your movements [source: Duffy].The Kinect software goes a step further than just detecting and reacting to what it can "see." Kinect can also distinguish players and their movements even if they're partially hidden. Kinect extrapolates what the rest of your body is doing as long as it can detect some parts of it. This allows players to jump in front of each other during a game or to stand behind pieces of furniture in the room.
Depth sensor. An infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor allows Kinect to see the room in 3-D (as opposed to inferring the room from a 2-D image) under any lighting conditions.
a 320×240 depth stream. Depth is recovered by projecting invisible infrared (IR) dots into a room. The way the optical system works, on a hardware level, is fairly basic. A class 1 laser is projected into the room. The sensor is able to detect what's going on based on what's reflected back at it. Together, the projector and sensor create a depth map. The regular old video camera is held at a specific distance away from the 3D part of the optical system in a precise alignment, so that Kinect can blend together the depth map and RGB picture for dynamic, on-the-fly green screening.
RGB camera. Kinect has a video camera that delivers the three basic color components. As part of the Kinect sensor, the RGB camera helps enable facial recognition and more.
Four different microphones allow Kinect to figure out where the sound is coming from
Multiarray microphone. Kinect has a microphone that is able to locate voices by sound and extract ambient noise. The multiarray microphone enables headset-free Xbox LIVE party chat and more.
Microsoft software. A proprietary software layer makes the magic of Kinect possible. This layer differentiates Kinect from any other technology on the market through its ability to enable human body recognition and extract other visual noise.
