Parsing human skeletons in an operating room

Pascal Fua, Slobodan Ilic, Xinchao Wang, Horesh Beny Ben Shitrit, Vasileios Belagiannis

Multiple human pose estimation is an important yet challenging problem. In an Operating Room (OR) environment, the 3D body poses of surgeons and medical staff can provide important clues for surgical workflow analysis. For that purpose, we propose an algor ...

Using inertial sensors for reconstructing 3D full-body movement in sports - possibilities and limitations on the example of alpine ski racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

The present study investigates if inertial sensors could be used for reconstructing 3D full body movements in sports. On the example of alpine ski racing, it was demonstrated that inertial sensors allow computing meaningful parameters related to a skier’s ...

Progress in airborne gravimetry by combining strapdown inertial and new satellite observations via dynamic networks

Jan Skaloud

We revisit the concept of scalar gravity ano- maly determination by an airborne strapdown INS - GNSS system. We built on the previously investigated concepts (mainly within 1995-2005 period) while trying to decrease the error spectrum of the system caused ...

UAVs using Bayesian Optimization to LocateWiFi Devices

Bixio Rimoldi, Stefano Rosati, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Mattia Carpin

We address the problem of localizing non-collaborative WiFi devices in a large region. Our main motive is to localize humans by localizing their WiFi devices, e.g. during search-and-rescue operations after a natural disaster. We use an active sensing appro ...

Experimental Setup of Sound Emitting and Processing Robot for Acoustic-Based SLAM Applications

Frederike Dümbgen

An experimental framework for an echolocator robot was developed and tested. The framework includes an image processing and computer vision algorithm for visual localization, odometry analysis and the tools for calculating room impulse responses. The perfo ...

On-Board Human-Aware Navigation for Indoor Resource-Constrained Robots: A Case-Study with the Ranger

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour, Inaki Navarro Oiza

Introducing simple robotic platforms into domes- tic environments is faced with the challenge of social accept- ability. Therefore human-aware navigation is a must for robots operating in environments shared with human users. In this work, we focus on the ...

Generalized Method of Wavelet Moments for Inertial Navigation Filter Design

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Yannick Stebler

The integration of observations issued from a satellite-based system (GNSS) with an inertial navigation system (INS) is usually performed through a Bayesian filter such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The task of designing the navigation EKF is strong ...

Interest modeling in games: the case of dead reckoning

Kévin Clément Huguenin

In games, the goals and interests of players are key factors in their behavior. However, techniques used by networked games to cope with infrequent updates and message loss, such as dead reckoning, estimate a player's movements based mainly on previous obs ...

Pedestrian Navigation for the Benefit of Mobility

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Monique Ruzicka-Rossier, Michael Flamm, Dominique Von Der Mühll

This chapter presents the various positioning technologies used in pedestrian navigation. The basic principles as well as the main advantages and disadvantages of positioning methods in the context of urban mobility are discussed. The development of naviga ...

From GNSS to Black Box for Challenging Road Applications

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron

Navigation and positioning techniques will play a key role in most of the road applications. Most of the vehicles are equipped with GPS for route guidance. However challenging applications require most advanced navigation technology for positioning integri ...
