Solución de bajo coste de captura de movimiento basada en Kinect

[ES] En este trabajo se estudia e implementa una solución de bajo coste basada en Kinect para la captura de movimiento y su integración con Blender, de manera que se cuente con una solución eficiente para la realización de captura de movimiento en animación. Dicho desarrollo está apoyado con la elaboración de un tutorial sobre el procedimiento necesario para realizar MOCAP con Kinect y Blender, facilitando así su uso con fines formativos.

On the use of a low-cost thermal sensor to improve kinect people detection in a mobile robot

[EN]Detecting people is a key capability for robots that operate in populated environments. In this paper, we have adopted a hierarchical approach that combines classifiers created using supervised learning in order to identify whether a person is in the view-scope of the robot or not. Our approach makes use of vision, depth and thermal sensors mounted on top of a mobile platform.

Plant food supplement (PFS) market structure in EC Member States, methods and techniques for the assessment of individual PFS intake

The popularity of herbal products, especially plant food supplements (PFS) and herbal medicine is on the rise in Europe and other parts of the world, with increased use in the general population as well as among specific subgroups encompassing children, women or those suffering from diseases such as cancer. The aim of this paper is to examine the PFS market structures in European Community (EC) Member States as well as to examine issues addressing methodologies and consumption data relating to PFS use in Europe. A revision of recent reports on market data, trends and main distribution channels, in addition an example of the consumption of PFS in Spain, is presented. An overview of the methods and administration techniques used...
