Building A Visual Tracking System for Home-Based Rehabilitation

Visual tracking of human movement has attracted increasing attention recently because of its wide spectrum of applications, including athletic and clinical per formance analysis, human-computer inter face, surveillance, motion capture for games and animation. There are two main techniques in the visual tracking of the human movement community: marker-based tracking and marker-free tracking. This paper presents a visual tracking system, which exploits both marker-based and marker-free methods, to suppor t the home-based rehabilitation program. I t provides a useful and complete tracking system to help the patients’ who sustain a stroke to recover and improve their mobility at a home environment.
