Automatic extraction of golf swing features using a single Kinect

KinectAvatar: Fully Automatic Body Capture Using a Single Kinect

We present a novel scanning system for capturing a full 3D human body model using just a single depth camera and no auxiliary equipment. We claim that data captured from a single Kinect is sufficient to produce a good quality full 3D human model. In this setting, the challenges we face are the sensor’s low resolution with random noise and the subject’s non-rigid movement when capturing the data...

Study on the dynamics of golf swing and impedance control for a golf swing robot

automatic verification of authentication protocols using genetic programming

implicit and unobserved errors and vulnerabilities issues usually arise in cryptographic protocols and especially in authentication protocols. this may enable an attacker to make serious damages to the desired system, such as having the access to or changing secret documents, interfering in bank transactions, having access to users’ accounts, or may be having the control all over the syste...

On the efficiency of the golf swing

A non-driven double pendulum model is used to explain the principle underlying the surprising efficiency of the golf swing. The principle can be described as a parametric energy transfer between the arms and the club head due to the changing moment of inertia of the club. The transfer is a consequence of conservation of energy and angular momentum. Because the pendulum is not driven by an exter...

Lip Features Automatic Extraction

An algorithm for speaker's lip segmentation and features extraction is presented in this paper. A c olor video s e quence o f s p e aker's face i s a c quired, under natural lighting conditions and without any particular make-up. First, a logarithmic color transform is performed f r om RGB to HI hue, intensity color space. Second, a statistical approach using Markov random eld modeling determin...
