Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, a system to estimate recovery stage of hemiplegia automatically by using multiple three-dimensional laser scanners was developed. To achieve this target, the following system and methods was researched and developed: a high-precision position calibration method on the assumption uses laser scanners, an algorithm for integrating measuring information of multiple scanners, a method to generate the digital human model of a target person automatically based on the integrated information and estimation and diagnosis method based on the digital human model. For utilizing generally and getting much diagnosis case, a method to generate a digital human model by matching video movie of a target person and a digital human model analyzed already was developed. By integrating technologies described above, a proto-type system, which estimates recovery stage of a target person automatically from activities of daily living, was built.
