Multimodal 3D Body Imaging Camera (A01)

• Subject Area: Communication Technology and Networks, High-Frequency Technology and Photonic Systems, Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Information Technology ; Image and Language Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualisation, Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 442419336

Project A01 investigates a new, multimodal sensor concept for high-precision, non-contact capturing of the human body shell and the velocity vector of each point on this shell. For this purpose, a micro-Doppler aperture synthesis radar is combined with an optical depth camera and the strengths of both sensors are combined. The body shell and its movements will be recorded with an unprecedented resolution and at high measuring rate. With these features, the sensor system is a key component for the research program of the CRC EmpkinS.
