Accuracy measurement of depth using Kinect sensor

The use of Kinect is increased now a day as a measuring tool in different applications so there is necessary to give the analysis of different Kinect parameters. IR Depth Sensor of Kinect gives the distance of each pixel of an object from camera plane. This paper gives the analysis of Kinect depth distance and actual distance of an object from the camera plane. Here object is a rectangular box of fixed shape and size. An algorithm of new method used for the experiment is given in detail. At the end results shows that as we go on increasing the object distance from the camera plane the error in finding the depth increases and then it is found that Absolute Mean Percentage Error (AMPE) is about on an average is 3.6% when we compared Kinect depth distance and actual distance of an object from camera plane.
