This paper purpose a motion generator approach to translating human motion from video image sequences to computer animations in real-time. In the motion generator approach, a motion generator makes ...inferences on the current human motion and posture from the data obtained by processing the source video source, and then generates and sends a set of joint angles to the target human body model. Compared with the existing motion capture approach, our approach is more robust, and tolerant of broader environmental and postural conditions. Experiments on a prototype system show that an animated virtual human can walk, sit, and lie as the real human performs without special illuminations control.
CIM animation systems are designed to provide exact and unambiguous displays of moving objects. This system also offers a special geometric model for almost real-time display.

We have created a virtual human presenter who accepts speech texts with embedded commands as inputs. The presenter acts in real-time 3D animation synchronized with speech. The system was developed on ...the Jack animated-agent system. Jack provides a 3D graphical environment for controlling articulated figures, including detailed human models.
This article proposes G-octree as an extension of G-quadtree to three dimensions. A G-octree reflects in its construction a hierarchy of gray-scale level value homogeneity, as well as a hierarchy of ...spatial resolution. The article also develops two-way G-quadtree/Goctree conversion procedures based on the algorithms for the binary case. These procedures provide an integrated processing environment for hierarchically represented 2D/3D gray.scale images. We demonstrate our approach with an application to the color coding of macro-autoradiography images taken from rat brains.
This study aimed to examine epidemiologically socio-environmental factors associated with diabetes mellitus among patients hospitalized with schizophrenia in Japan.
This was a cross-sectional study ...from a single psychiatric hospital. Study patients were adults aged ≥20 years who were hospitalized with schizophrenia one or more times between January 2013 and December 2014. From electronic medical records or health insurance claims, we extracted schizophrenia patients with an F2 code according to ICD-10, and assessed the association of various factors with diabetes mellitus among these patients in a multivariable analysis.
During the 2-year period, there were 1899 patients hospitalized with a psychiatric disorder one or more times. Of them, a total of 770 adults with schizophrenia (285 men and 485 women) were eligible for our analysis. The standardized prevalence ratio of diabetes mellitus was 2.0 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.6-2.5 among men and 3.0 (95 % CI 2.5-3.6) among women in this hospital. There were no socio-environmental factors associated with diabetes mellitus among men. Among women, factors such as a 730-day hospitalization adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.82: 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.52-9.64, and a medical protection/compulsory/discrimination hospitalization (adjusted OR 0.60, 95 % CI 0.36-0.99) were associated with diabetes mellitus. Compared with women living alone, those who were unmarried and lived together with someone had a significantly lower adjusted OR (0.41, 95 % CI 0.21-0.81).
Socio-environmental factors such as length of hospitalization, type of hospitalization, and marital status and living arrangement were associated with diabetes mellitus among hospitalized women with schizophrenia.
