Capturing and Analysis of 3D Shape and Motions of the Human Body for Medical applications and the Database technology

本研究旨在建立一个精确的人体CG模型，用于医学和体育领域的运动分析和仿真，并在特征分析和意向研究的基础上，开发一个能够存储和检索人体图形、姿势和动作的数据库系统。在第一年，我们提出了人体部位的“中介”概念，通过一组最优的CG对象来表示身体。在第二年，我们将上述“形状”中介扩展到“运动”中介，包括结构（每个关节的自由度等）和运动信息。这些介质可用于描述特定疾病或康复患者的特征。最后，我们举办了一个研讨会，在计算机科学家和医生之间交换意见。

This research intends to establish a precise CG model of the human body for motion analysis and simulation in medical science and sports, We also aim to develop a database system which can store and retrieve human figures, postures and motions based on the feature analysis and the intention study, In the first year we proposed the "mediator" concept for the parts of the human body to represent bodies by an optimum set of CG objects.In the second year we extend the above 'shape' mediator to 'motion' mediator including structure (degree of freedom for each joint etc,) and motion information.These mediators can be used to describe the characteristics of clients of the specific disease or in the rehabilitation.Finally we had a workshop to exchange opinions between the computer scientists and the medical doctors.
