3D HUMAN MOTION RETRIEVAL BASED ON HUMAN HIERARCHICAL INDEX STRUCTURE
Journal Title: Biology of Sport - Year 2013, Vol 30, Issue 2
Abstract
With the development and wide application of motion capture technology, the captured motion data sets are becoming larger and larger. For this reason, an efficient retrieval method for the motion database is very important. The retrieval method needs an appropriate indexing scheme and an effective similarity measure that can organize the existing motion data well. In this paper, we represent a human motion hierarchical index structure and adopt a nonlinear method to segment motion sequences. Based on this, we extract motion patterns and then we employ a fast similarity measure algorithm for motion pattern similarity computation to efficiently retrieve motion sequences. The experiment results show that the approach proposed in our paper is effective and efficient.

Variation of explosive force at different times of day
AIM: The purpose of this study was to compare the explosive force and electromyographic (EMG) activity at three different times of the day. METHODS: Thirty healthy subjects took part in the study, and carried out two max...
Deafness and motor abilities level
The audition injury hinders some motor motions and the organised coordination at the higher level and may be a cause of disturbances and disorder in some motor abilities adoption. It was assumed that deafness including i...
The analysis of gait in people with Down syndrome – comparison with the norm in healthy people
The analysis of gait in people with Down syndrome, mentally retarded to a moderate and considerable degree, and a comparison of the results achieved to the gait norm elaborated for healthy people were the main interests...
Ecdysteroids: A novel class of anabolic agents?
Increasing numbers of dietary supplements with ecdysteroids are marketed as “natural anabolic agents”. Results of recent studies suggested that their anabolic effect is mediated by estrogen receptor (ER) binding. Within...
