I bought a kinect camera to detect the skeleton. Our laboratory does motion analysis and is used to detect squats. However, the skeleton cannot be identified because part of the body is blocked by the bar weight. Is there any solution? thx a lot!
Or someone has used two cameras to reconstruct the 3D skeleton, and I hope you can give me some advice.

It seems like you are having trouble detecting the skeleton using your Kinect camera because part of the body is blocked by the bar weight. Unfortunately, based on the provided documents, there is no specific solution mentioned for this issue. However, you can try to adjust the position of the camera or the bar weight to avoid blocking the body parts that are necessary for the skeleton detection.
On the other hand, if you plan to use multiple devices to capture the skeleton, please refer to this article, Synchronize multiple Azure Kinect DK devices which provide detailed steps on how to sync up multiple devices and capture the data.
Hope this helps!

I have read the article you mentioned about. But I check my kinect camera, I think there isn't any 3.5mm hole on it. Only a type-c hole and a charging hole.
Is the model on the article a new model? My model was released in 2019, so maybe it cannot apply the method in the article.
By the way, a while ago I tried to connect two camera to one computer, but only the master one can detect human skeleton, I still can't use two camera to transfer 2D-skeleton to 3D-skeleton.
Is there any method I can get two skeleton from cameras at the same time?
If I can do this, maybe I can solve the blocked-body part problem.
Thanks a lot! -

I read the article you mentioned about, but the model in the article have 3.5mm jack. I have checked my kinect camera which is released in 2019, and I didn't see the 3.5mm jack on it.
So maybe my model cannot apply the method in the article. By the way, a while ago I connected 2 kinect camera to one computer, but only the master camera can detect skeleton. Is there any method I can get 2 skeletons(only 1 person) from 2 camera at the same time?
And if it is possible, can I transfer the 2D skeleton to 3D?
Thaks again for answering me! Sorry for replying you twice, I thought the system deleted my first message.
