that the same speaker will often use widely different articulator configurations to produce /r/ in different contexts. Ongoing research is addressing the addition of F3 to the planning space and the addition of consonants to the model's phonemic repertoire. It is believed that consonants, unlike vowels and /r/, may require the incorporation of constriction information in the target specificatio...

Assessment of the kinematic variability among 12 motion analysis laboratories.

Variability of kinematic measurements among sites participating in a collaborative research investigation is a primary factor in determining number of subjects, level of detectable difference and statistical power of a multi-site research study. In this study, one subject was evaluated by 24 examiners at 12 motion analysis laboratories and the observed variability of nine kinematic parameters a...

Kinematic and kinetic analysis of rolling motion in normal adults.

The purpose of this study was to describe a rolling motion, which is common in normal adults and patients with motor disorder, and to try to understand the mechanism of the motion. Ten healthy young adults participated in the experiment and were requested to roll from supine to side-lying by pressing the floor with their contra-lateral foot. Their motions in the task were measured with a 3-D an...

Kinematic based Human Motion Analysis in Infrared Sequences

A Kinematic Model for Human Motion and Gait Analysis

This work introduces a new model-based approach towards the 3-D tracking of human motion. We suggest a parametric body model, with both coarse and fine resolution levels, characterized by hard and soft kinematic constraints. The hard constraints place physical limitations on possible model configurations while the soft constraints take the form of a priori, stochastic distributions learned from...
