Analysis and Synthesis of Human Motion Data

Abstract

Ongoing Projects

Motion Analysis and Synthesis
Physically-based analysis and synthesis of (human) motions have a number of applications. They can help to enhance the efficiency of medical rehabilitation, to improve the understanding of motions in the realm of sports or to generate realistic animations for movies and computer games.

Motion Reconstruction
Motion capture systems allow for tracking and recording human motions at high spatial and temporal resolutions. However, we are interested in alternative techniques getting along with far less input data.

Sonification
On this page we want to introduce you to our research in the field of sonification, partially carried out in cooperation with the Institute of Sport-science and Sports at the University of Bonn and the University of Hannover.
