At present, the existing gait recognition systems are focusing on developing methods to extract robust gait feature from silhouette images and they indeed achieved great success. However, gait can be sensitive to appearance features such as…
Gait is an essential manifestation of depression. Laboratory gait characteristics have been found to be closely associated with depression. However, the gait characteristics of daily walking in real-world scenarios and their relationships…
In many scientific disciplines, the features of interest cannot be observed directly, so must instead be inferred from observed behaviour. Latent variable analyses are increasingly employed to systematise these inferences, and Principal…
With an aging population, numerous assistive and monitoring technologies are under development to enable older adults to age in place. To facilitate aging in place predicting risk factors such as falls, and hospitalization and providing…
Personality traits are latent variables, and as such, are impossible to measure without the use of an assessment. Responses on the assessments can be influenced by both transient (state-related) error and measurement error, obscuring the…
Neurological gait disorders affect a large population, significantly reducing life quality. This paper brings a foundational understanding to the potentials of emerging sensing modalities (e.g., WiFi) for gait disorder assessment, via…
Studying the effects of one-way variation of any number of parameters on any number of output probabilities quickly becomes infeasible in practice, especially if various evidence profiles are to be taken into consideration. To provide for…
This study explored the potential of gait analysis as a tool for assessing post-injury complications, e.g., infection, malunion, or hardware irritation, in patients with lower extremity fractures. The research focused on the proficiency of…
As an important biomarker for human identification, human gait can be collected at a distance by passive sensors without subject cooperation, which plays an essential role in crime prevention, security detection and other human…
Some large scale inference problems are considered based on using the relative belief ratio as a measure of statistical evidence. This approach is applied to the multiple testing problem. A particular application of this is concerned with…
Dynamic balance in human locomotion can be assessed through the local dynamic stability (LDS) method. Whereas gait LDS has been used successfully in many settings and applications, little is known about its sensitivity to individual…
The methodological contribution in this paper is motivated by biomechanical studies where data characterizing human movement are waveform curves representing joint measures such as flexion angles, velocity, acceleration, and so on. In many…
Quantitatively modeling the trajectories and behavior of pedestrians walking in crowds is an outstanding fundamental challenge deeply connected with the physics of flowing active matter, from a scientific point of view, and having societal…
Get-Up-and-Go Test is commonly used for assessing the physical mobility of the elderly by physicians. This paper presents a method for automatic analysis and classification of human gait in the Get-Up-and-Go Test using a Microsoft Kinect…
Footwear comparison is used to link between a suspect's shoe and a footprint found at a crime scene. Investigators compare the two items using randomly acquired characteristics (RACs), such as scratches or holes. However, to date, the…
Appearance-based gait recognition have achieved strong performance on controlled datasets, yet systematic evaluation of its robustness to real-world corruptions and silhouette variability remains lacking. We present RobustGait, a framework…
This paper analyses joint-space walking mechanisms and redundancies in delivering functional gait outcomes. Multiple biomechanical measures are analysed for two healthy male adults who participated in a multi-factorial study and walked…
The biomechanics of the human body allow humans a range of possible ways of executing movements to attain specific goals. This range of movement is limited by a number of mechanical, biomechanical, or cognitive constraints. Shifts in these…
As a unique biometric that can be perceived at a distance, gait has broad applications in person authentication, social security, and so on. Existing gait recognition methods suffer from changes in viewpoint and clothing and barely consider…
Currently, criminals profile (CP) is obtained from investigators or forensic psychologists interpretation, linking crime scene characteristics and an offenders behavior to his or her characteristics and psychological profile. This paper…
