AN INTEGRATED ERGOMA SYSTEM FOR HUMAN MOTION ANALYSIS
Sosuke Yoshida, Hirofumi CHIKATSU · 2000
The authors have been developing an ERGOMA system using video image sequences, and visualization of human motion analysis using animation was demonstrated. However, there were some issues that needed to be resolved. These problems include automation of camera calibration, synchronization of stereo image and efficient stereo matching. In order to resolve these problems, firstly this paper describes the integrated ERGOMA system utilizing image sequences taken by Hybrid Video Theodolite (HVT) which was developed by Chikatsu and et al.. Secondly, improvement of image acquisition, feature points and accurate extraction method for feature points are investigated in this paper. Finally, calculation of load on the waist and animation techniques are also investigated, and visualization of human motion analysis using animation are demonstrated.
