Military Medicine, 2002 This study examined the feasibility of performing radiographic studies on patients wearing standard-issue body armor. The Kevlar helmet, fragmentation vest, demining suit sleeve, and armor plate were studied with plain film and computed tomography in a simulated casualty situation. We found that the military helmet contains metal screws and metal clips

Body models in humans, animals, and robots: mechanisms and plasticity [PDF]
2021, Body Schema and Body Image: New Directions, Oxford
University Press, pp. 152-180, 2020 Humans and animals excel in combining information from multiple sensory modalities, controlling their complex bodies, adapting to growth, failures, or using tools.

Probabilistic Estimation of 3D Human Shape and Pose with a Semantic Local Parametric Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper addresses the problem of 3D human body shape and pose estimation from RGB images. Some recent approaches to this task predict probability distributions over human body model parameters conditioned on the input images. This is motivated by the ill-posed nature of the problem wherein multiple 3D reconstructions may match the image evidence ...
