Application Of Fuzzy Narx To Human Gait Modelling And Identification, Seyed Hesami, Fazel Naghdy, David Stirling, Harold Hill

Professor Fazel Naghdy

A new modelling and classification approach for human gait is proposed. Body movements are obtained using a sensor suit recording inertial signals that are subsequently modelled on a humanoid frame with 23 degrees of freedom (DOF). Measured signals include position, velocity, acceleration, orientation, angular velocity and angular acceleration. The identification and modelling method segments the stream of non–linear movement data on the basis of the features extracted from the sensor signals. A model is then created for the movement of every individual. This model is used as a dynamic finger print for that specific individual. In the future stages of …

Geometric & Haptic Modelling Of Textile Artifacts, Fazel Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy, Hugh Armitage Oct 2011

Geometric & Haptic Modelling Of Textile Artifacts, Fazel Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy, Hugh Armitage

Professor Fazel Naghdy

Geometric modelling and haptic rendering of textiles is an area of research in which interest has significantly increased over the last decade. A haptic representation is created by adding the physical properties of an object to its geometric configuration. While research has been conducted into geometric modelling of fabrics, current systems require textile data to be manually entered into the computer simulation by a technician. This study explores the possibility of automatic generation of geometric and haptic models of real world textile samples. The development of a scalable and generic methodology for geometric and haptic modelling of plain weave textiles …

3d Geometric Modelling Of Hand-Woven Textile, Hooman Shidanshidi, Fazel Naghdy, Golshah Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy Oct 2011

3d Geometric Modelling Of Hand-Woven Textile, Hooman Shidanshidi, Fazel Naghdy, Golshah Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy

Professor Fazel Naghdy

Geometric modeling and haptic rendering of textile has attracted significant interest over the last decade. A haptic representation is created by adding the physical properties of an object to its geometric configuration. While research has been conducted into geometric modeling of fabric, current systems require time-consuming manual recognition of textile specifications and data entry. The development of a generic approach for construction of the 3D geometric model of a woven textile is pursued in this work. The geometric model would be superimposed by a haptic model in the future work. The focus at this stage is on hand-woven textile artifacts …


Dynamic Modelling, Validating And Fine-Tuning Of Engineering Curriculum, Fazel Naghdy Oct 2011

Dynamic Modelling, Validating And Fine-Tuning Of Engineering Curriculum, Fazel Naghdy

Professor Fazel Naghdy

The undergraduate Engineering schools in Australia are required to embed and assess the Competency Standards defined by the Engineers Australia in their curriculum. At the same time, embedding graduate attributes in the curriculum has become an important element in the quality assurance processes of universities. The embedding and mapping are only the first step in a long term process. The mapping should be validated empirically and reviewed in a repeating cycle towards an effective and optimal curriculum. This will require a rigorous action learning process for creating and cyclic validation of a living curriculum. The conceptual development and early stages …


Empirical Modelling Of Human Gaits For Bipedal Robots, Matthew Field, David A. Stirling, Fazel Naghdy, Zengxi Pan Oct 2011

Empirical Modelling Of Human Gaits For Bipedal Robots, Matthew Field, David A. Stirling, Fazel Naghdy, Zengxi Pan

Professor Fazel Naghdy

Modelling of human motion through a discrete sequence of motion primitives, retaining elements of skillful or unique motion of an individual is addressed. Using wireless inertial motion sensors, a skeletal model of the fluid human gait was gathered. The posture of the human model is described by nine sets of euler angles for each sample. An intrinsic classification algorithm known as Minimum Message Length encoding (MML) is deployed to segment the stream of data and subsequently formulate certain Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) that contain a plausible range of motion primitives. The removal of certain less seemingly important modes has been …


A Practical Approach To Prescribe The Amount Of Used Insulin Of Diabetic Patients, Mehran Mazandarani, Ali Vahidian Kamyad May 2011

A Practical Approach To Prescribe The Amount Of Used Insulin Of Diabetic Patients, Mehran Mazandarani, Ali Vahidian Kamyad

To assess of diabetes mellitus, extensive mathematical studies have been done to date. Up to now, many crisp mathematical models have described this phenomenon, but with the aim of controlling and modelling diabetes mellitus in more realistic and practical form, the models that consider most aspects of the problem should be considered. This kind of attitude to the disease can be modelling with mathematics called fuzzy mathematics. In this paper, modelling of diabetes mellitus type 2 has been studied by using IF-Then fuzzy rules based on the medical information of diabetic patients of Parsian clinic in Mashhad-Iran who were treated …
