Recognition of dance-like actions: memory for static posture or dynamic movement? [PDF]

, 2014
Dance-like actions are complex visual stimuli involving multiple changes in body posture across time and space. Visual perception research has demonstrated a difference between the processing of dynamic body movement and the processing of static body ...

Posture normalisation of 3D body scans [PDF]

Ergonomics, 2019
For product developers that design near-body products, virtual mannequins that represent realistic body shapes, are valuable tools. With statistical shape modelling, the variability of such body shapes can be described. Shape variation captured by statistical shape models (SSMs) is often polluted by posture variations, leading to less compact models ...

Effect of manual osteopathic techniques on the autonomic nervous system, respiratory system function and head-cervical-shoulder complex—a systematic review

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundOsteopathic manual techniques are now widely used in medicine worldwide. At present, there are no clear conclusions regarding the possibility of affecting the function of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), respiratory system and head-cervical ...

Recognition of human body posture from a cloud of 3D data points using wavelet transform coefficients [PDF]

, 2002
Addresses the problem of recognizing a human body posture from a cloud of 3D points acquired by a human body scanner. Motivated by finding a representation that embodies a high discriminatory power between posture classes, a new type of feature is ...
