Poster on Fully Automatic Body Scanning and Motion Capturing Using Two Kinects

Scanning people with a Kinect is still a challenging problem. In this poster we demonstrate an approach for a fully automatic, full body scanning, combining state of the art super-resolution and registration algorithms with a novel approach for shape completion to reconstruct the human body.

For a copy of the poster, please contact Yan Cui.

AR-Handbook selected as “one of the gems” of the software-cluster

The first two projects of the software-cluster EMERGENT and SWINNG have been successfully evaluated by DLR and BMBF. In addition to the generally positive review the BMBF reviewers chose a small selection of “gems”, among them AV’s AR-Handbook for their novel approach to Augmented Reality maintenance assistance.

Video Analytics and Mobile Learning for high-performance sport

In the next two years the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and  the Institute for Applied Scientific Training (IAT) will work together on the use of novel technologies in professional sports. German press release

Publication on a Generic Approach to Inertial Tracking of Arbitrary Kinematic Chains at BodyNet 2013

Motion sensors are becoming incredibly cheap and are already fully integrated. Chaining them allows fully new applications in the area of body and tools tracking.
