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，以理解人类的运动。新的人体运动和结构模型将用于模拟单关节和整个身体的运动，并应用于动画、生物运动和步态分析，以诊断和治疗运动相关疾病。这个跨学科团队包括来自三个核心机构的主要研究人员——马里兰大学（牵头机构）、斯坦福大学和纽约大学。研究人员涵盖了广泛的兴趣范围，包括生物力学、计算机科学与工程、电子工程和运动学。所提出的研究工作将为逼真的动画和运动中细微变化的检测提供新的方法，从而为运动障碍的康复提供更好的诊断工具和个性化方案。强大的教育和工业外展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.
