Sports franchises invest a lot in training their athletes. use of latest technology for this purpose is also very common. We propose a system of capturing motion of athletes during weight training and analyzing that data to find out any…
Quantification of human movement is a challenge in many areas, ranging from physical therapy to robotics. We quantify of human movement for the purpose of providing automated exercise coaching in the home. We developed a model-based…
Advanced wearable sensor devices have enabled the recording of vast amounts of movement data from individuals regarding their physical activities. This data offers valuable insights that enhance our understanding of how physical activities…
This study describes a method to quantify potential gait changes in human subjects. Microsoft Kinect devices were used to provide and track coordinates of fifteen different joints of a subject over time. Three male subjects walk a 10-foot…
The analysis of human motion as a clinical tool can bring many benefits such as the early detection of disease and the monitoring of recovery, so in turn helping people to lead independent lives. However, it is currently under used.…
We explore the problem of automatically inferring the amount of kilocalories used by human during physical activity from his/her video observation. To study this underresearched task, we introduce Vid2Burn -- an omni-source benchmark for…
High calorie intake in the human body on the one hand, has proved harmful in numerous occasions leading to several diseases and on the other hand, a standard amount of calorie intake has been deemed essential by dieticians to maintain the…
This paper describes a method to convert Microsoft Kinect coordinates into gait parameters in order to detect a person's gait change. The proposed method can help quantify the progress of physical therapy. Microsoft Kinect, a popular…
Obesity treatment requires obese patients to record all food intakes per day. Computer vision has been introduced to estimate calories from food images. In order to increase accuracy of detection and reduce the error of volume estimation in…
Wearable electronics are often used for estimating the energy expenditure of the user based on heart rate measurement. While heart rate is a good predictor of calorie consumption at high intensities, it is less precise at low intensity…
Smartphone applications designed to track human motion in combination with wearable sensors, e.g., during physical exercising, raised huge attention recently. Commonly, they provide quantitative services, such as personalized training…
