Dexterous manipulation of objects in virtual environments with our bare hands, by using only a depth sensor and a state-of-the-art 3D hand pose estimator (HPE), is challenging. While virtual environments are ruled by physics, e.g. object…

Precise motion timing (PMT) is crucial for swift motion analysis. A millisecond difference may determine victory or defeat in sports competitions. Despite substantial progress in human pose estimation (HPE), PMT remains largely overlooked…

This study evaluates the agreement of marker-based and markerless (OpenCap) motion capture systems in assessing joint kinematics and kinetics during cycling. Markerless systems, such as OpenCap, offer the advantage of capturing natural…

We present a new deep learning approach for real-time 3D human action recognition from skeletal data and apply it to develop a vision-based intelligent surveillance system. Given a skeleton sequence, we propose to encode skeleton poses and…

The phenomenon of Human Pose Estimation (HPE) is a problem that has been explored over the years, particularly in computer vision. But what exactly is it? To answer this, the concept of a pose must first be understood. Pose can be defined…

Spine biomechanics is at a transformation with the advent and integration of machine learning and computer vision technologies. These novel techniques facilitate the estimation of 3D body shapes, anthropometrics, and kinematics from as…

Human activity understanding is crucial for building automatic intelligent system. With the help of deep learning, activity understanding has made huge progress recently. But some challenges such as imbalanced data distribution, action…

Parsing human body into semantic regions is crucial to human-centric analysis. In this paper, we propose a segment-based parsing pipeline that explores human pose information, i.e. the joint location of a human model, which improves the…

Comprehensive capturing of human motions requires both accurate captures of complex poses and precise localization of the human within scenes. Most of the HPE datasets and methods primarily rely on RGB, LiDAR, or IMU data. However, solely…

This paper tackles the problem of human motion prediction, consisting in forecasting future body poses from historically observed sequences. State-of-the-art approaches provide good results, however, they rely on deep learning architectures…

In this paper, we derive a probabilistic registration algorithm for object modeling and tracking. In many robotics applications, such as manipulation tasks, nonvisual information about the movement of the object is available, which we will…

Making top-down human pose estimation method present both good performance and high efficiency is appealing. Mask RCNN can largely improve the efficiency by conducting person detection and pose estimation in a single framework, as the…

Automatic markerless estimation of infant posture and motion from ordinary videos carries great potential for movement studies "in the wild", facilitating understanding of motor development and massively increasing the chances of early…

Mobile service robots are proving to be increasingly effective in a range of applications, such as healthcare, monitoring Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and facilitating Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). These robots heavily rely on Human…

Head pose estimation and tracking is useful in variety of medical applications. With the advent of RGBD cameras like Kinect, it has become feasible to do markerless tracking by estimating the head pose directly from the point clouds. One…

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is used in applications ranging from cooling water pipelines in nuclear power plants and distribution pipelines for natural gas and hydrogen to biomedical implants. Embedded crack-like flaws form within HDPE…

In tomographic imaging, anatomical structures are reconstructed by applying a pseudo-inverse forward model to acquired signals. Geometric information within this process is usually depending on the system setting only, i. e., the scanner…

The Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients. Recognizing medical-related human activities (MRHA) is pivotal for healthcare systems,…

Despite their potential, markerless hand tracking technologies are not yet applied in practice to the diagnosis or monitoring of the activity in inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases. One reason is that the focus of most methods lies in the…

Previous video-based human pose estimation methods have shown promising results by leveraging aggregated features of consecutive frames. However, most approaches compromise accuracy to mitigate jitter or do not sufficiently comprehend the…
