-\subsection{Kinect} The Kinect outputs three primary signals in real-time: a
-color image stream, a depth image stream, and microphone output.  For our
-purposes, we focus on the depth image stream.  As the Kinect was designed to
-interface directly with the Xbox 360~\cite{xbox}, the tools to interact with it
-on a PC are limited.  Libfreenect~\cite{libfreenect} is a reverse engineered
-driver which gives access to the raw depth images from the Kinect.  This raw
-data could be used to implement the algorithms \eg of
-Plagemann~\etal{}~\cite{plagemann:icra10}.  Alternatively,
-OpenNI~\cite{openni}, a framework sponsored by PrimeSense~\cite{primesense},
-the company behind the technology of the Kinect, offers figure detection and
-skeleton fitting algorithms on top of raw access to the data streams.  However,
-the skeleton fitting algorithm of OpenNI requires each individual to strike a
-specific pose for calibration.  More recently, the Kinect for Windows
-SDK~\cite{kinect-sdk} was released, and its skeleton fitting algorithm operates
-in real-time without calibration.  Given that the Kinect for Windows SDK is the
-state-of-the-art, we use it to perform our data collection.

-\subsection{Data set}
+For some frames, one or several joints are out of the frame or are occluded by
+another part of the body. In those cases, the coordinates of these joints are
+either absent from the frame or present but tagged as \emph{Inferred} by the
+Kinect SDK. Inferred means that even though the joint is not visible in the

+joint coordinates. These are distances between two contiguous joints in the
+human body. If one of the two joints of a body part is not present or inferred
+in a frame, the corresponding body part is reported as absent for the frame.
+Second, the number of features is reduced to 9 by using the vertical symmetry
+of the human body: if two body parts are symmetric about the vertical axis, we
+bundle them into one feature by averaging their lengths. If only one of them is
+present, we take the value of its counterpart. If none of them are present, the
+feature is reported as missing for the frame. The resulting nine features are:
+Head-ShoulderCenter, ShoulderCenter-Shoulder, Shoulder-Elbow, Elbow-Wrist,
+ShoulderCenter-Spine, Spine-HipCenter, HipCenter-HipSide, HipSide-Knee,
+Knee-Ankle.  Finally, any frame with a missing feature is filtered out.
+
+Each detected skeleton also has an ID number which identifies which figure
+it maps to from the figure detection stage. When there are consecutive number stays the
 same across several frames, it means that the skeleton-fitting
 algorithm was able to detect the skeleton in a contiguous way. This
 allows us to define the concept of a \emph{run}: a sequence of frames
 with the same skeleton ID.
