Reverse Recognition of Body Postures Using On-body Radio Channel Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
the problem of posture detection is of considerable significance for assisted living (AL). In most cases, radio channel models for WBANs are fixed when a specific body posture is considered. To the best of our knowledge, little work has been done on the reverse body posture information extraction using WBAN radio channel characteristics. This paper aims to classify human postures from on-body narrowband wireless channel information. It is demonstrated that by applying the random forest (RF) classification technique, the action of the human body can be detected. The classification error is perfectly acceptable for RF algorithm. Two propagation environments were compared and the results indicate that the classification error is less in the anechoic chamber (21.39%). In summary, this paper provides a novel approach to detect human body postures by using body-centric wireless channel information, and will be beneficial for AL.

Recognizing and Tracking Human Action
Human activity can be described as a sequence of 3D body postures. The traditional approach to recognition and 3D reconstruction of human activity has been to track motion in 3D, mainly using advanced geometric and dynamic models. In this paper we reverse this process. View based activity recognition serves as an input to a human body location tracker with the ultimate goal of 3D reanimation in...

Introduction: Hesperidin (HES), as the most abundant flavonoid existing in the citrus, is widely used by human daily. The radio-protective effects of Hesperidin have been confirmed in various measurement systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Hesperidin on the changes in the apoptosis level and expression of apoptotic genes target (bax, bcl-2 and ration of bax/bcl-2) in the periph...
متن کاملBody inversion effect without body sense: insights from deafferentation.
Like faces, human bodies are recognized via the configuration of their parts; their recognition is impaired by inversion. Processing of configural relations has been shown to depend on perceptual expertise with certain classes of objects. Because people see their own body and others' bodies frequently, humans are experts in the visual processing of human body postures. In addition, the observer...
