Core Technologies
-
CORE TECHNOLOGIES01
Pose Estimation Technology
We're researching and developing pose estimation technology using computer vision with only a single-camera setup. This significantly reduces hardware costs that were traditionally required.
-
CORE TECHNOLOGIES02
Ground Reaction Force Estimation Technology
This technology estimates the external force exerted on the human body using posture and environmental information obtained from pose estimation and image analysis. It generates temporal data derived from videos.
-
CORE TECHNOLOGIES03
Musculoskeletal Model Generation Technology through Inverse Kinematics Analysis
By conducting inverse kinematics analysis based on movement and joint data obtained from pose estimation and ground reaction force estimation, we transform this into joint and muscle activity data to generate musculoskeletal models.
