Fit with Artificial Intelligence: Bridging Body and Mind
In neuroscience, executive functions (EF) encompass all cognitive abilities required for the control and self-regulation of behaviour. Physiotherapy research has demonstrated that well-developed executive functions allow people to react quickly and accurately even under…
Forschungsprojekt
Hardware Accelerated Human Pose Estimation
Human Pose Estimation (HPE) recognises a kinematic model of the human body from image data. The Interdisciplinary Centre for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) at the OST has further developed the well-known HPE network OpenPose and made it computationally more efficient.
