Kinect sensor is a successful device that lets 3D human motion capture be used in a general residential setting. This work aims to fulfill some missing capabilities in Kinect, which are forearm orientation estimation and forearm tracking in occlusion. By using a wrist-mounted Inertial Measurement Unit and Kinect's built-in skeleton tracking, we have developed a fusion procedure that improves the upper...
As the world population is growing toward an aging society, elderly fall becomes a serious problem. Automatic fall detection and alert systems could shorten their waiting time after a fall and mitigate its physical and mental negative consequences. This work proposes a method that integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a barometer on a wrist-worn device for the fall detection task. The method focuses...
Infrastructure as a Service Cloud system is based on virtualization technology to enables the hosting of massive number of computing resources. The efficient power management can help lower the cost of operating a large cloud substantially. Power usage in a cloud system depends largely on the system load and the proper use of physical machines. This paper proposes a new algorithm, Two Phases Power...
