I’ve finished my Final Year Project, entitled “Visualizador 3D interactivo para laboratorios de análisis de marcha”. Our objectives were to develop a 3D interactive tool that could help the doctor in the treatments and analysis of patients with walking pathologies.

Concretely, I have programmed a 3D visualizer that shows skeleton figures with the movement captured previously on the real patient. My application reads the file with the position of the patient’s joints and it draw the moving skeleton on a virtual environment with this data.

I have made the application more ergonomic and interactive: there are Play/Pause buttons, a speed dial, a progress bar and some camera controls by the only use of the mouse. this way, the managing is more intuitive and ergonomic.

Finally, the application allows to show some graphics with the temporal evolution of the positions or primary rotation angles of any joint. You can select the choised joint by the upper menu or simply clicking in the joint inside the virtual world.

In this video, you can see the Skeleton Visualizer in all his brilliance:

Last Thursday, I defended my project with great success. I obtained a 10. Thanks to all.

Dr. Marta Marrón from Universidad de Alcalá will present us the algorithms developed on her PhD thesis to visually track several objects using particle filters. The visual 3D tracking of several objects at the same time has many applications in robotics and computer vision. The main advantage of her MultiTargetTracking (MTT) particle filters is that they are truly multimodal, overcoming the only-one-target feature of the classic particle filters. The algorithm she proposes clusters the particle set in different groups according to the several relevant objects in the scene and tracks them with such multimodal single particle population.
