To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is one of the first times that a large quantity of flight data has been studied in order to improve safety. A two phase novelty detection approach to locating abnormalities in the descent phase of aircraft flight data is presented. It …
Enormous uncertainties in unconstrained human motions lead to a fundamental challenge that many recognising algorithms have to face in practice: efficient and correct motion recognition is a demanding task, especially when human kinematic motions are subject to variations of exe…
Unconstrained human hand motions consisting of grasp motion and inhand manipulation lead to a fundamental challenge that many recognition algorithms have to face, in both theoretical and practical development, mainly due to the complexity and dexterity of the human hand. The mai…
Psychomotor slowing, and in particular slow walking, is a common correlate of illness or injury, and often persists long after the precipitating condition has improved. Since slow walking has implications for long term physical and social wellbeing, it is important to find ways …
