This paper presents a method to extract instantaneous articulation from part geometry, based on surface mating constraints as well as constraints imposed by other incidental contacts. Many assemblies contain joints, each of which have degrees of freedom associated with them. These joints allow the relative positions of parts in the mechanism to change as the joints are articulated. Being able t...

We propose a two component fully-convolutional network for heatmap regression to perform multi-person pose estimation from images. The first component of the network predicts all body joints of all persons visible on an image, while the second component groups these body joints based on the position of the head of the person of interest. By applying the second component for all detected heads, ...

Recent studies suggest that in addition to movements between ankle and hip joints, movements of the upper body, in particular of the arms, also significantly contribute to postural control. In line with these suggestions, we analyzed regulatory movements of upper and lower body joints supporting dynamic balance regulation during challenged locomotion. The participants walked over three beams of...

In this work, we propose a scheme to estimate two-dimensional full-body human poses in a monocular video sequence. For each frame in the video, we detect the human region using a support vector machine, and estimate the full-body human pose in the detected region using multi-dimensional boosting regression. For the human pose estimation, we design a joints relationship tree, corresponding to th...

OBJECTIVES (a) To determine the topographical variations in cartilage thickness over the entire surfaces of cadaveric lower limb joints, and (b) to examine the correlations between: cartilage thickness and its site specific modulus; cartilage thickness and donor age, weight, height, and body mass index. METHODS The cartilage thickness of 11 sets of cadaveric human joints each comprising an an...

Bipod nettle Utrica dioica L has therapeutic properties in treatment of human chronic diseases such as anemia, joints pain and skin diseases. In this research the major components of extracts in different parts of plant (root, stem and leaf) were identified by gas chromatography (GC) apparatus. Twenty compounds were identified, the most important of which were Neophytadiene (25.21%), Phtaleic a...
