This $1,200,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2023 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant supports research at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to develop computer vision algorithms that can accurately estimate biomechanical data like body pose, motion, and forces from video data alone. This will enable the observation of human movement and stability in natural settings using low-cost cameras, rather than requiring specialized lab equipment. The research aims to create new tools for personalized training, preventative healthcare, and improving stability and flexibility for the elderly. The project will also develop a dataset of multimodal human motion data and explore four specific applications: stability monitoring, a vision-based personal training system, sports video analysis, and methods for retargeting human movements to humanoid robots.
