Quantitative diffusion tensor MRI-based fiber tracking of human skeletal muscle [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2007 Diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) offers great potential for understanding structure-function relationships in human skeletal muscles. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate the feasibility of using in vivo human DT-MRI fiber tracking data for making pennation angle measurements and to test the hypothesis that heterogeneity ...

Improving Free-Viewpoint Video Content Production Using RGB-Camera-Based Skeletal Tracking [PDF]
2020 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces Abstracts and Workshops (VRW), 2020 Free-Viewpoint Video (FVV) is a type of volumetric content in which an animated, video-textured 3D mesh of a character performance is constructed using data from an array of cameras. Previous work has demonstrated excellent results when creating motion graphs from FVV content, but these techniques are often prohibitively expensive in practice.

XNect: Real-time Multi-Person 3D Motion Capture with a Single RGB Camera
, 2020 We present a real-time approach for multi-person 3D motion capture at over 30 fps using a single RGB camera. It operates successfully in generic scenes which may contain occlusions by objects and by other people. Our method operates in subsequent stages.

Connectivity of the Superficial Muscles of the Human Perineum: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging-Based Global Tractography Study. [PDF]
, 2018 Despite the importance of pelvic floor muscles, significant controversy still exists about the true structural details of these muscles. We provide an objective analysis of the architecture and orientation of the superficial muscles of the perineum using

Framework for Dynamic Evaluation of Muscle Fatigue in Manual Handling Work [PDF]
, 2008 Muscle fatigue is defined as the point at which the muscle is no longer able to sustain the required force or work output level. The overexertion of muscle force and muscle fatigue can induce acute pain and chronic pain in human body. When muscle fatigue
