Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte, Gaëlle Prigent
Objective: To investigate (i) typical protocols used in research on biomechanical response to running-induced fatigue, (ii) the effect of sport-induced acute fatigue on the biomechanics of running and functional tests, and (iii) the consistency of analyzed ...
2021Wearable multifunctional sweat-sensing system for efficient healthcare monitoring
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Mandresy Ivan Ny Hanitra, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo, Nicolò Oliva, Simone Aiassa
Despite the huge expansion in recent years of sweat sensing and wearable technologies, several challenges are still open, including poor sample collection, separate sampling and analysis, low multi-sensing capabilities and materials toxicity. In this work, ...
2020Degradation analysis in mixed (MAPbI(3) and MAPbBr(3)) perovskite solar cells under thermal stress
Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Sanghyun Paek, Zubair Ahmad
The current study provides an insight into the thermal stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and the factors causing their degradation. To this end, a systematic stability study was carried out on n-i-p type perovskite solar cells involving mesoporous ...
SPRINGER2019Real-Time Generative Hand Modeling and Tracking
In our everyday life we interact with the surrounding environment using our hands. A main focus of recent research has been to bring such interaction to virtual objects, such as the ones projected in virtual reality devices, or super-imposed as holograms i ...
EPFL2018How accurate is visual determination of foot strike pattern and pronation assessment
Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Grégoire Millet, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard
Nowadays, choosing adequate running shoes is very difficult, due to the high number of different designs. Nevertheless, shoes have two main characteristics to fit runners' technique and morphology: drop and arch support. Retailers' advices are usually base ...
2018Drift Reduction for Inertial Sensor Based Orientation and Position Estimation in the Presence of High Dynamic Variability During Competitive Skiing and Daily-Life Walking
Nowadays inertial sensors are extensively used for gait analysis. They can be used to perform temporal event detection (i.e. step detection) and to estimate the orientation of the feet and other body segments to determine walking speed and distance. Usuall ...
EPFL2017Course setting as a prevention measure for overuse injuries of the back in alpine ski racing
Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel
Background: A combination of frontal bending, lateral bending, and torsion in the loaded trunk has been suggested to be a mechanism leading to overuse injuries of the back in Alpine ski racing. However, there is limited knowledge about the effect of course ...
2016Sphere-Meshes for Real-Time Hand Modeling and Tracking
Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Anastasia Tkach
Modern systems for real-time hand tracking rely on a combination of discriminative and generative approaches to robustly recover hand poses. Generative approaches require the specification of a geometric model. In this paper, we propose a the use of sphere ...
