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 ...

We investigate the joint implementation of back-propagation and RF-pilot tone for fiber nonlinear compensation in POLMUX-16QAM and show that the nonlinear tolerance is drastically improved when compared to OFDM system

Conventional bridge systems make use of expansion joints to accommodate movements caused primarily by thermal changes. These joints may accelerate the deterioration of bridge elements and often require significant maintenance ...

An experimental testing campaign on tensile bolted joints between straps is reported. Two dominant failure modes are identified: (1) tilting, bearing and tearing of the sheets (TS) and (2) tilting, bearing and net-section ...

Joints play a crucial role in both the design and the materialization of concrete construction and in its subsequent service and durability. Especially when it comes to exposed concrete, their appearances might affect the ...

El análisis de la marcha ha adquirido en los últimos tiempos un extraordinario desarrollo. En la actualidad la ciencia biomecánica ofrece un gran campo de actuación para el estudio de la patología de la deambulación, ...

Els biobots són una eina d’experimentació que cada cop està sent més utilitzada per recrear a petita escala sistemes biològics per generar models d’estudi rellevants, com en aquest cas, el d’una articulació humana. En ...

The ability to maintain a proper posture is becoming a more interesting topic as it is necessary to understand the behavior of the human body to be able to apply this knowledge to robotics and mechanics. In this project ...

The paper deals with the problem of planning movements of dual-arm anthropomorphic systems, with the aim of reducing the computational cost of the problem and making the movements look as human-like as possible. The key ...
