A novel bio-kinematic encoder for human exercise representation and decomposition - Part 1: Indexing and modelling
Saiyi Li, Terry Caelli, Mario Ferraro, Pubudu Nishantha Pathirana · 2013
Current bio-kinematic encoders use velocity, acceleration and angular information to encode human exercises. However, in exercise physiology there is a need to distinguish between the shape of the trajectory and its execution dynamics. In this paper we propose such a two-component model and explore how best to compute these components of an action. In particular, we show how a new spatial indexing scheme, derived directly from the underlying differential geometry of curves, provides robust estimates of the shape and dynamics compared to standard temporal indexing schemes.
