Symbiotic: The Human Body and Constructs of Nature
… investigating the interrelationship between the human body and the environment, specifically in trees; how they are inseparable and interchangeable, and how they pertain to the non-existence of a pure natural world. Through sculpture, I explore the essence of these two entities by considering …

3D reconstruction of human body via machine learning
… (3D) reconstruction and modeling of the human body and garments from images is a central open problem in computer vision, yet remains a challenge using machine learning techniques. We proposed a framework to generate the realistic 3D human from a single RGB image via machine learning. The …

Energy Harvesting from Human Body, Motion and Surroundings
As human dependence on electronic devices grows, there is an emerging need on finding sustainable power sources for low power electronics and sensors. One of the promising possibilities in this space is the human body itself. Harvesting significant power from daily human activities will have a …

Error estimation for single-image human body mesh reconstruction
Human pose and shape estimation methods continue to suffer in situations where one or more parts of the body are occluded. More importantly, these methods cannot express when their predicted pose is incorrect. This has serious consequences when these methods are used in human-robot interaction …

The Human Body is Not Designed for Ambivalence: Odes
The critical analysis section of this dissertation seeks to define the ode using examples in translation from Greek and Latin odes and examples in English written from the 1500s to the 2000s. Although most definitions of the ode contend that this subgenre of the lyric is an occasional poem of …

A Study of Human Body Movement in Inland Waterways
… operatives and investigators in establishing how human bodies move in an aquatic environment, which can be used to locate them more expeditiously.<br/><br/>This research began in 2008 and involves the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data relating to deceased human bodies …

Technologies to decode the multicellular networks within the human body
… these interaction points in order to infect the body. Its subject is principally centered around the proteins that cover the surfaces of human cells. These proteins have to bind with specific combinations of surface proteins on nearby cells, thereby establishing a complex ‘code’ of direct …

Development of a Computationally Efficient Full Human Body Finite Element Model
… of motor vehicle crash safety. FEA models of the human body have the potential to greatly enhance the volume of biomechanically relevant data obtained from crash simulations. The Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) is an international consortium of industry, government, and academic …

Flexible, stretchable, and transient electronics for integration with the human body
… intimate, long-lived interfaces to the human body have broad utility in continuous measurement of physiological status, with the potential to significantly lower tissue injury and irritation after implants. The development of such soft, biocompatible platforms and integrating them into a …

A plethysmographic device for determining human body volume and body density
The measurement of total body volume (V) (excluding lung volume) together with total body mass (m) is required in order to determine body density (d = m/V). From this, and using certain simplifying assumptions, it is possible to derive body composition in terms of fat mass (FM) and fat free mass …

Finite element simulation of the human body in vehicle side impact
… dummies, rather than on the dynamics of real human bodies. Therefore fundamental research of the impact dynamics of real human bodies is rare. The objective of this thesis has been to make a contribution to this research by developing a computer-simulated model of the human body using the …

Moving Sculptures: Animating the Human Body in Stop-Motion WithPolymer Clay
… techniques. This thesis focuses on animating human anatomy, testing the extreme physical and emotional states that can be portrayed within the medium of a stop-motion film. Stop-motion animation is a technique wherein a film is shot frame by frame, with animators manually moving characters …

Energy Harvesting from the Human Body for Wearable and Mobile Devices
… there is a huge amount of energy stored in the human body. While walking, there is a large amount of power dissipated in the human body as negative muscle work and the energy loss by impact. By sourcing locally and using locally, human body energy harvesting is a promising solution. This …

A Framework for Human Body Tracking Using an Agent-based Architecture
… this dissertation is to present our agent-based human tracking framework, and to evaluate the results of our work in light of the previous research in the same field. Our agent-based approach departs from a process-centric model where the agents are bound to specific processes, and introduces a …
