Abstract:
This thesis presents an efficient and biologically informed 3D human body morphing technique through data-driven alteration of standardized 3D models. The anthropometric data is derived from a large empirical database and processed using principal component analysis (PCA). Although techniques using PCA are relatively commonplace in computer graphics, they are mainly used for scientific visualizations and animation. Here we focus on uncovering the underlying mathematical structure of anthropometric data and using it to build an intuitive interface that allows the interactive manipulation of bod

Abstract:
Human Body Communication (HBC) is a novel communication method between devices which use human body as a transmission medium. This idea is mostly based on the concept of wireless biomedical monitoring system. The on-body sensor nodes can monitor vital signs of a human body and use the body as a transmission medium. This technology is convenient for long durations of clinical monitoring with the option of more mobility and freedom for the user. In this thesis, IEEE 802.15.6-2012 physical (PHY) layer for the HBC was simulated. Simulation model is following the standard’s requirements and proces

Human body analysis is one of the broadest areas within the computer vision field. Researchers have put a strong effort in the human body analysis area, specially over the last decade, due to the technological improvements in both video cameras and processing power. Human body analysis covers topics such as person detection and segmentation, human motion tracking or action and behavior recognition. Even if human beings perform all these tasks naturally, they build-up a challenging problem from a computer vision point of view. Adverse situations such as viewing perspective, clutter and occlusi

A feasible detecting approach, which is based on background subtraction, has been developed and has been tested on 39 images. Individual pedestrians in images can be detected and counted. The approach is suitably used to detect and count pedestrians without overlapping. Accuracy rate of detection is higher than 80%.

Most efforts to recognise emotions from the human body have focused on <i>expressive gestures</i> which are archetypal and exaggerated expressions of emotions.

Complex actions are modelled using Hidden Markov Models and motion primitives. This dissertation describes a <i>holistic</i> approach which

Perceiving other people is a seemingly effortless process. Yet within a few hundred milliseconds we are aware of who we are looking at, what this person is doing, and even what this person feels. We derive this information from the form and motion of the face and body. Faces may be particularly important for some aspects of person perception (e. g., identity recognition), whereas bodies may be more important for others (e. g., action recognition). Furthermore, information from the body is important in cases where it is not possible to perceive the details of the face, for instance when the fac

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) offers a patient-friendly, non-invasive and painless investigation of the entire small intestine, where other conventional wired endoscopic instruments can barely reach.

To define the position of the endoscopic capsule, we need to have a map of inside the human body. However, since the shape of the small intestine is extremely comple

The measurement of total body volume (V) (excluding lung volume) together with total body mass (m) is required in order to determine body density (d = m/V). From this, and using certain simplifying assumptions, it is possible to derive body composition in terms of fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM) for the two-compartment model. The standard method for determining body volume (and hence body composition) is the densitometric (underwater weighing) technique based on Archimedes' principle.

Human body motion capture systems based on inertial sensors (gyroscopes andaccelerometers) are able to track the relative motions in the body precisely, oftenwith the aid of supplementary sensors. The sensor measurements are combinedthrough a sensor fusion algorithm to create estimates of, among other parame-ters, position, velocity and orientation for each body segment. As this algorithmrequires integration of noisy measurements, some drift, especially in the positionestimate, is expected.
