In this study, we present an application of the Piece-wise Constant Strain (PCS) model to a flexible deformation analysis of a sports prosthesis leg. Dynamic motion analysis of an athlete wearing a sports prosthesis is important to clarify a relationship between the prosthesis characteristics and th…
This paper discusses the application of video motion capturing technology (VMocap) to a competitive team sports game. The setting introduces a specific set of constraints: large scale markerless motion capturing, big recording volume, transmitting and processing gigabytes of data, operation without…
The paper aims to develop a methodology of transferring the knowledge obtained from the experiments of laboratory animals to human musculoskeletal system. To achieve the goal, we propose a method for estimating the homologous posture of the mammalian skeletal system corresponding to the human body p…
Motor functions of the biological system has been forged through 4 billion years evolution. From a neurorobotics view, it is important not only to know how well it works, but also how it fails. To quantitatively describe early onset symptoms of a neurodegenerative disease, we analyzed phenotypes of…
This paper discusses video motion capture, namely, 3D reconstruction of human motion from multi-camera images. After the Part Confidence Maps are computed from each camera image, the proposed spatiotemporal filter is applied to deliver the human motion data with accuracy and smoothness for human mot…
