  • Chapter: Vicon Motion Capture and HD 1080 Standard Video Data Fusion Based on Minimized Markers Reprojection Error
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We present an algorithm for quantity motion capture and multi camera HD 1080 standard reference video data fusion. It consists of initial calibration step which is based on some set of selected frames and final fusion for the rest of frames. Implemented data fusion algorithm can be used in case that it is possible to find a time interval when both devices were recording the same sequence of poses. It is worth to emphasise there are no special calibration patterns used during calibration. Advantage of the algorithm is that the required calibration step can be perfomed simultaneously with actor calibration from Vicon Blade system. It is also allowed that cameras locations can be changed during acquisition process as long as they observe known motion capture markers. After calibration and synchronization reprojection is possible in real time for VGA resolution or in reduced frequency for HD 1080 standard. Performed experiments determined that average projection error is about 1.45 pixel in the Full-HD 1920×1080 reference video and it is perceptualy acceptable. Practical usage for training video depersonification was presented.

  • Chapter: Human Identification Based on Gait Paths

    ABSTRACT: Gait paths are spatial trajectories of selected body points during person’s walk. We have proposed and evaluated features extracted from gait paths for the task of person identification. We have used the following gait paths: skeleton root element, feet, hands and head. In our motion capture laboratory we have collected human gait database containing 353 different motions of 25 actors. We have proposed four approaches to extract features from motion clips: statistical, histogram, Fourier transform and timeline We have prepared motion filters to reduce the impact of the actor’s location and actor’s height on the gait path. We have applied supervised machine learning techniques to classify gaits described by the proposed feature sets. We have prepared scenarios of the features selections for every approach and iterated classification experiments. On the basis of obtained classifications results we have discovered most remarkable features for the identification task. We have achieved almost 97% identification accuracy for normalized paths.

  • Chapter: Classification of Poses and Movement Phases
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We have focused on the problem of classification of motion frames representing different poses by supervised machine learning and dimensionality reduction techniques. We have extracted motion frames from global database manually, divided them into six different classes and applied classifiers to automatic pose type detection. We have used statistical Bayes, neural network, random forest and Kernel PCA classifiers with wide range of their parameters. We have tried classification on the original data frames and additional reduced their dimensionality by PCA and Kernel PCA methods. We have obtained satisfactory results rated in best case 100 percent of classifiers efficiency.

  • Chapter: Estimation System for Forces and Torques in a Biped Motion
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this paper we present a simple estimation system for ground reaction forces, inter-segmental forces and joint torques in the biped motion. The proposed system bases on classification of walk into two phases, left leg stance - right leg swing, and left leg swing - right leg stance. The system does not need any additional measurements of forces and moments. It uses matrix formulation for inverse dynamics problem of computing moment and torques on the basis of measurements of ve- locities and accelerations. The input signals are filtered with the use of the Savitzky Golay smoothing filter.
