Intelligent Carpet: Inferring 3D Human Pose from Tactile Signals

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2021
Daily human activities, e.g., locomotion, exercises, and resting, are heavily guided by the tactile interactions between the human and the ground. In this work, leveraging such tactile interactions, we propose a 3D human pose estimation approach using ...

Enhancement of strength and transport properties of a novel preplaced aggregate fiber reinforced concrete by adding waste polypropylene carpet fibers

, 2020
Preplaced aggregate concrete (PAC), also known as two-stage concrete (TSC), is a particular type of concrete that is produced by placing coarse aggregates in a form and voids amongst them are then injected with a flowable grout.

Magic Carpet: Interaction Fidelity for Flying in VR

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2020
Locomotion in virtual environments is currently a difficult and unnatural task to perform. Normally, researchers tend to devise ground- or floor-based metaphors to constrain the degrees of freedom (DoFs) during motion.
