ITR: New technology for the Capture, Analysis and Visualization of Human Movement

PIS建议建立一个为期五年的ITR计划，该计划将领导下一代分布式视频传感系统的开发，以了解人体运动。人体运动和结构的新模型将用于建模单关节和全身的运动，并应用于动画、生物运动和步态分析，以诊断和治疗与运动相关的疾病。跨学科团队包括来自三个核心机构的领先研究人员--马里兰大学(牵头机构)、斯坦福大学和纽约大学。研究人员的兴趣范围很广，包括生物力学、计算机科学和工程、电气工程和人体运动学。拟议的研究工作将使逼真动画和检测运动细微变化的新方法成为可能，从而为运动障碍的康复带来更好的诊断工具和个性化的程序。强大的教育和工业推广计划也将加强我们的研究计划。

The PIs propose to establish a five-year ITR program that will lead the development of the next generation distributed video sensing systems for understanding human movements. Novel models of human movement and structure will be used for modeling the movements of singe-joint and whole bodies with applications to animation, biomotion, and gait analysis for diagnosing and treating movement-related disorders. The interdisciplinary team includes leading researchers from three core institutions - the University of Maryland (lead institution), Stanford University and New York University. The researchers cover a broad spectrum of interests, including biomechanics, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, and kinesiology. The proposed research efforts will enable novel approaches for realistic animation and the detection of subtle variations in movement, leading to better diagnostic tools and personalized programs for rehabilitation of movement disorders. Strong educational and industrial outreach programs will also enhance our research program.
