True distance

Hi . i'm creating a program that search the dangerous situation in a room.The fallen is a dangerous situation, so i use the center of mass to establish it. But when i get the center of mass coordinate in the real world i don't know what that number mean. when i stamp kinect.getCoM(userList[i], com); println(com);

x, y and z are centimeters, millimeters , inches ... what?? Thanks for the reply.

I don't think this answers easily

x,y,z are pixels on the screen.

When you paint a robot one pixel might represent 1 cm, when you paint a planet, 10 KM

Now when you use different sensors as kinect also there signals depend from the sensor

So I would advice to measure it yourself in some small experiment.

then you need a function to go from pixels to centimeter

I don't have a kinect so....
