RGB-W: When Vision Meets Wireless

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Inspired by the recent success of RGB-D cameras, we propose the enrichment of RGB data with an additional "quasi-free" modality, namely, the wireless signal (e.g., wifi or Bluetooth) emitted by individuals' cell phones, referred to as RGB-W. The received s ...

Heel and Toe Clearance Estimation for Gait Analysis Using Wireless Inertial Sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani

Tripping is considered a major cause of fall in older people. Therefore, foot clearance (i.e., height of the foot above ground during swing phase) could be a key factor to better understand the complex relationship between gait and falls. This paper presen ...
