Abstract :
This work presents some results obtained from image processing and motion analysis. The aim of image processing in this case is motion analysis of the human body. The issues raised in motion analysis are of interest for obtaining motion-specific parameters for movements of the human body. The resulting data (spatial coordinates, velocities and accelerations) are used for further processing in humanoid robotics and assistive and rehabilitative technologies for disabled people. The results are implemented on a robotic leg, which was developed in our laboratories.
