Introduction: A reliable measurement of the physical activity in everyday life should allow a better assessment of the utility and the relevance of a number of medical treatments. Continuous 24-h recordings of posture and motion can be generally useful in ...
In this paper we show how the mass properties of an articulated body, such as its center of mass and its moments of inertia, may be manipulated like any conventional end effector, with well-known iterative, numerical techniques. Within our interactive simu ...

To evaluate whether an activity monitor based on body acceleration measurement can accurately assess the energy cost of the human locomotion, 12 subjects walked a combination of three different speeds (preferred speed+/-1 km/h) and seven slopes (-15 to + 1 ...
The development of efficient systems for precise attitude and position determination of airborne sensor platforms is having a huge impact in different remote sensing applications, resulting in higher productivity levels and lower exploitation costs. This t ...
We propose a method to simulate human bodies based on anatomy concepts. We believe that the closer our model is to reality, the better our results will be. Using this approach, we are developing our human representation. Our model is divided into three lay ...
Purpose: To explore whether triaxial accelerometric measurements can be utilized to accurately assess speed and incline of running in free-living conditions. Methods: Body accelerations during running were recorded at the lower back and at the heel by a po ...
Three-dimensional (3-D) motion estimation is applied to the problem of motion compensation for video coding. We suppose that the video sequence consists of the perspective projections of a collection of rigid bodies which undergo a rototranslational motion ...
A dual-axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanner is presented. The scanner consists of a mirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that the two orthogonal angular moti ...
A dual axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanning mirror is presented. The scanner consists of a micromirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that an "L"-shape canti ...
A new system, Physilog, for ambulatory monitoring of movement is proposed and its applications in orthopaedic, physiology, angiology and quality of life are presented. Body accelerations were recorded by a portable measuring device. Significant parameters ...
