This paper presents an initial work on assessment of gait normality in which the human body motion is represented by a sequence of enhanced depth maps. The input data is provided by a system consisting of a Time-of-Flight (ToF) depth camera…
Gait and static body measurement are important biometric technologies for passive human recognition. Many previous works argue that recognition performance based completely on the gait feature is limited. The reason for this limited…
This paper proposes an image-processing-based method for personalization of calorie consumption assessment during exercising. An experiment is carried out where several actions are required in an exercise called broadcast gymnastics,…
Modeling crowd behavior relies on accurate data of pedestrian movements at a high level of detail. Imaging sensors such as cameras provide a good basis for capturing such detailed pedestrian motion data. However, currently available…
By 2050, a quarter of the US population will be over the age of 65 with greater than a 40% risk of developing life-altering neuromusculoskeletal pathologies. The potential of wearables, such as Apple AirPods and hearing aids, to provide…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of severe non-traumatic disability in young adults and its incidence is increasing worldwide. The variability of gait impairment in MS necessitates the development of a non-invasive, sensitive,…
Phone sensors could be useful in assessing changes in gait that occur with alcohol consumption. This study determined (1) feasibility of collecting gait-related data during drinking occasions in the natural environment, and (2) how…
Gait analysis using computer vision is an emerging field in AI, offering clinicians an objective, multi-feature approach to analyse complex movements. Despite its promise, current applications using RGB video data alone are limited in…
Gait velocity has been consistently shown to be an important indicator and predictor of health status, especially in older adults. Gait velocity is often assessed clinically, but the assessments occur infrequently and thus do not allow…
Several pathologies can alter the way people walk, i.e. their gait. Gait analysis can therefore be used to detect impairments and help diagnose illnesses and assess patient recovery. Using vision-based systems, diagnoses could be done at…
Accurate diagnosis of gait impairments is often hindered by subjective or costly assessment methods, with current solutions requiring either expensive multi-camera equipment or relying on subjective clinical observation. There is a critical…
This paper investigates deteriorations in knee and ankle dynamics during running. Changes in lower limb accelerations are analyzed by a wearable musculo-skeletal monitoring system. The system employs a machine learning technique to classify…
Motion ability is one of the most important human properties, including gait as a basis of human transitional movement. Gait, as a biometric for recognizing human identities, can be non-intrusively captured signals using wearable or…
We developed a shoe-mounted gait monitoring system capable of tracking up to 17 gait parameters, including gait length, step time, stride velocity, and others. The system employs a stereo camera mounted on one shoe to track a marker placed…
Human pose estimation from monocular video is a rapidly advancing field that offers great promise to human movement science and rehabilitation. This potential is tempered by the smaller body of work ensuring the outputs are clinically…
