Falls in older adults are not only frequent but also potentially disabling for them. Detecting and preventing these falls have an important impact in the life of the elderly people. This paper presents the architecture ...

Los sensores son componentes de instrumentación cuyo objetivo principal es detectar una magnitud física del entorno y transforarla en una magnitud eléctrica. El posterior tratamiento de esta señal permite valorar la ...

The cephalopod statocyst and lateral line systems are sensory organs involved in orientation and balance. Lateral lines allow cephalopods to detect particle motion and are used for locating prey or predators in low light ...

[ANGLÈS] Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used to monitor physical or environmental conditions, and to pass their data through the network to a central location. These networks have applications in diverse areas including ...

We introduce a novel approach to automatically recover 3D human pose from a single image. Most previous work follows a pipelined approach: initially, a set of 2D features such as edges, joints or silhouettes are detected ...

Aquest Projecte Fi de Carrera neix de la necessitat del CETpD de millorar l’algoritme de detecció de discinèsies per malalts de Parkinson mitjançant un sensor inercial col·locat a la cintura, ja que aquest presenta molts ...

The aim of this paper is to study the use of a prototype of wearable device for long term monitoring of gait and balance using inertial sensors. First, it is focused on the design of the device that can be used all day ...

Buildings represent a significant portion of global energy consumption. Ventilation units are complex components, often customized for the specific building, responsible for a large part of energy consumption. Their faults ...
