How people do things?

Automatic capturing, recognition and rendering of human sensory-motor activities are essential technologies in many diverse applications, ranging from 3D virtual manuals through to training simulators and novel computer games.

The goal of COGNITO is to capture, analyse, store and render with help of 3D graphics complex industrial manual tasks.

The following video gives an overview about the overall COGNITO approach and single system functionalities.

The project approach is defined as follows:

• To develop an egocentric on-body sensor network of inertial and inertial/visual sensors
• To infer an osteo-articular biomechanical model of the body
• To learn and analyse the workflow
• To describe and store it as 3D structured graphics animations
