Ballistic Hand Movements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Common movements like reaching, striking, etc. observed during surveillance have highly variable target locations. This puts appearance-based techniques at a disadvantage for modelling and recognizing them. Psychological studies indicate that these actions are ballistic in nature. Their trajectories have simple structures and are determined to a great degree by the starting and ending positions. We present an approach for movement recognition that explicitly considers their ballistic nature. This enables the decoupling of recognition from the movement’s trajectory, allowing generalization over a range of target-positions. A given movement is first analyzed to determine if it is ballistic. Ballistic movements are further classified into reaching, striking, etc. The proposed approach was tested with motion capture data obtained from the CMU MoCap database.

A common control signal and a ballistic stage can explain the control of coordinated eye-hand movements.
Voluntary control has been extensively studied in the context of eye and hand movements made in isolation, yet little is known about the nature of control during eye-hand coordination. We probed this with a redirect task. Here subjects had to make reaching/pointing movements accompanied by coordinated eye movements but had to change their plans when the target occasionally changed its position ...
متن کاملCerebral activation patterns related to initiation and inhibition of hand movement.
Sequential ordering of purposeful movements includes distinct transitions between muscle contraction and relaxation. To explore cerebral activation patterns underlying such movement initiation and inhibition, we applied functional magnetic resonance imaging to test the effects of (1) ballistic movement (dominated by initiation), (2) movement with stepwise interruption (dominated by inhibition) ...
متن کاملAbsence of cross-limb transfer of performance gains following ballistic motor practice in older adults.
The phenomenon of cross-limb transfer, in which unilateral strength training can result in bilateral strength gains, has recently been tested for ballistic movements. Performance gains associated with repetitive motor practice, and the associated transfer, occur within a few minutes. In this study, young and older adults were trained to perform ballistic abductions of their dominant (right) ind...
متن کاملA simple control policy for achieving minimum jerk trajectories
Point-to-point fast hand movements, often referred to as ballistic movements, are a class of movements characterized by straight paths and bell-shaped velocity profiles. In this paper we propose a bang-bang optimal control policy that can achieve such movements. This optimal control policy is accomplished by minimizing the L∞ norm of the jerk profile of ballistic movements with known initial po...
متن کاملAbnormal movements in sleep as a post-polio sequelae.
Nearly two-thirds of polio survivors report abnormal movements in sleep, with 52% reporting that their sleep is disturbed by these movements. Sleep studies were performed in seven polio survivors to document objectively abnormal movements in sleep. Two patients demonstrated generalized random myoclonus, with brief contractions and even ballistic movements of the arms and legs, slow repeated gra...
