Modeling of human motion through motion captured data using non-linear identification

The importance of estimating human motion analysis can be illustrated by numerous applications such as performance measurement for human factors engineering, posture and gait analysis for training athletes and physically challenged persons, animation of the human body, hands and face, automatic anno...

description The importance of estimating human motion analysis can be illustrated by numerous applications such as performance measurement for human factors engineering, posture and gait analysis for training athletes and physically challenged persons, animation of the human body, hands and face, automatic annotation of human activities in video databases, control in video games and virtual reality or teleoperation of anthropometric robots. Image processing technique from motion captured images is an accurate and cost effective method to give a set of data that defines the location of specified limb at every sequence of human motion. From this set of data, system identification was done to model the human motion.
