A Human Gait Analyzer

Abstract

With this work, it is intended to do the tracking and analysis of the human motion, more specifically the gait. By using computational vision, it has been acquired the trajectories of defined control points in individuals' body, throughout time and space. These results are to be used afterwards in gait specification of biped robots. Several types of movement and the phases that compose a common system of capture and analysis of movement are referenced. Then, methods used in image processing and a description of existing gait types are detailed. Finally, the implemented software is presented and the results analyzed.
