title: Object height using Kinect
body: <p>For example, I am standing in-front of my Kinect. The Kinect can identify the joints, and it will expose them as a data structure. Till this point I am clear.</p>
  
  <p>So, can we define the height as the difference between  <strong>Head joint -  ((LeftAnkle + RightAnkle)/2)</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried trigonometric formulas, but there are two problems I am facing. One is identifying the person in the view. The second one is identifying the exact positions of Top of head and bottom of foot.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the point cloud, but got lost in how to generate the point cloud specific to a person. I mean without including the background objects.</p>
  
  <p>Please suggest some ideas about how I can calculate the height of a person using the Kinect?</p>
