In this paper we present a skeleton-free Kinect system to estimate body mass index (BMI) of human bodies. Unlike other systems in the literature, the proposed system does not require a scale to measure the weight. The weight of observed subjects are estimated using body surface area (BSA) regression. The proposed system employs the state-of-the-art deep residual network to extract meaningful features...
Body surface area is an important measure in many clinical trials. It is a critical parameter that is used in estimating radiation and substance doses for human trials. Traditionally, these trials relied on skin-fold tests which are very invasive and uncomfortable to the subjects. In this paper we present a skeleton-free Kinect system to estimate body surface area of human bodies. The proposed system...
The mining industry has previously been regarded as a high risk job with safety being the primary concern. Over the years, procedures have been enforced in order to reduce these risks however muscular injuries are still occurring at a significant rate. An assistive technology known as Lift Augmentation Device(LAD) has been in use to reduce the impact on a workers body. This paper provides a musculoskeletal...
This paper presents a framework for motion capture and musculoskeletal analysis of underground mining procedures. The framework discusses suitable motion capture solutions, musculoskeletal modelling and best practices. Preliminary analysis was conducted to assess quantitative musculoskeletal risks of rod handling and fitting with the drilling rig. The preliminary results of the analysis provide recommendations...
