Abstract

Interactive participation of a human is becoming more and more popular in the management interface. The human motion capture is the next step in computer information control. Regular controls such as keyboards and ”mice” will be replaced by a more interactive input-output control method. Now web cameras can detect human faces, human gestures and follow their movements in a frame.

The revolutionary technology of OpenCV is one of these developments. The essence of this technology is the detection of facial features in an image-tracking and capturing hand movements, certain gestures and non-verbal commands.

OpenNI algorithm can convert human movements from a central location in a set of three-dimensional coordinate data. It can be converted to midi-messages and sent to the soundcard which makes adjustments to the volume of the acoustic signal from each of a sound system five cannels. It greatly expands opportunities of the stereo while listening the music and watching movies.

The aim of this research work is to combine the developments in the field of acoustic signal at the loudspeaker system 5.1 and the person location recognition system OpenNI. Knowing the coordinates of the 5.1 speaker system satellites and tracking human movements in the area, surrounded by these speakers, an engineer can further restore the pressure effect while listening to the audio tracks.

It improves the perception of sounds and music which come from the speakers, enhances the interactive human presence effect.
