Remote detection and measurement of limb tremors

Abstract

Remote limb tremor measurement is an important step for assessing severity of a number of diseases including Parkinson's disease and cerebellar tremor. Detection and precise quantification of limb tremor helps doctors for effectively adjust medications for patients. We propose a novel tracker that detects and measures human limb tremors automatically and remotely. Our proposed tracker upgrades Kinect's capabilities for accurate limb tremor detection and measurement.
