In this paper, a method of improving vertical positioning accuracy with the Global Positioning System (GPS) information and barometric pressure values is proposed. Firstly, we clear null values for the raw data collected in various…
Shopping is a routine activity for sighted individuals, yet for people who are blind or have low vision (pBLV), locating and retrieving products in physical environments remains a challenge. This paper presents a multimodal wearable…
To enhance lifting-load estimation accuracy in industrial upper-limb assistive exoskeletons, this study proposes a machine learning-based approach using insole pressure sensors. Unlike traditional methods that rely on electromyography…
Low-back pain (LBP) is a widespread disease which can also be highly disabling, but physicians lack of basic understanding and diagnosis tools. During this study, we have designed and built a new wearable device capable of detecting…
In recent years, Onboard Self Localization (OSL) methods based on cameras or Lidar have achieved many significant progresses. However, some issues such as estimation drift and feature-dependence still remain inherent limitations. On the…
Linear measurements of the left ventricle (LV) in the Parasternal Long Axis (PLAX) view using B-mode echocardiography are crucial for cardiac assessment. These involve placing 4-6 landmarks along a virtual scanline (SL) perpendicular to the…
The physical load of jumps plays a critical role in injury prevention for volleyball players. However, manual video analysis of jump activities is time-intensive and costly, requiring significant effort and expensive hardware setups. The…
Relative vehicle positioning methods can contribute to safer and more efficient autonomous driving by enabling collision avoidance and platooning applications. For full automation, these applications require cm-level positioning accuracy…
This research focuses on developing a real-time posture monitoring and risk assessment system for manual lifting tasks using advanced AI and computer vision technologies. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant concern for…
Clinical guidelines recommend performing left ventricular (LV) linear measurements in B-mode echocardiographic images at the basal level -- typically at the mitral valve leaflet tips -- and aligned perpendicular to the LV long axis along a…
This paper presents an algorithm that makes novel use of distance measurements alongside a constrained Kalman filter to accurately estimate pelvis, thigh, and shank kinematics for both legs during walking and other body movements using only…
Lifting is a common manual material handling task performed in the workplaces. It is considered as one of the main risk factors for Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders. To improve work place safety, it is necessary to assess…
Human motion analysis is used in many different fields and applications. Currently, existing systems either focus on one single limb or one single class of movements. Many proposed systems are designed to be used in an indoor controlled…
This paper presents a tunable liquid lens (TLL)-assisted indoor mobile visible light communication system. To mitigate performance degradation caused by user mobility and random receiver orientation, an electrowetting cuboid TLL is used at…
Estimating the limbs pose in a wearable way may benefit multiple areas such as rehabilitation, teleoperation, human-robot interaction, gaming, and many more. Several solutions are commercially available, but they are usually expensive or…
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) systems often have imperfect performance, affecting the `integrity' of position estimates and subsequent robot navigation decisions. Previously, SVM classifiers have been used to monitor VPR integrity. This…
Postural sway assessment is important for detecting balance problems and identifying people at risk of falls. Force plates (FP) are considered the gold standard postural sway assessment method in laboratory conditions, but their lack of…
In recent years, wearable devices have become more common to capture a wide range of health behaviors, especially for physical activity and sedentary behavior. These sensor-based measures are deemed to be objective and thus less prone to…
In this paper, visible light positioning (VLP) where the receiver adopts a commercial image sensor is considered. We firstly analyze the theoretical limits and error source of the VLP system using image sensor. And then, we develop a VLP…
Weight change estimation is crucial in various applications, particularly for detecting pick-up and put-back actions when people interact with the shelf while shopping in autonomous stores. Moreover, accurate weight change estimation allows…
