function walker % WALKER Human gait. % This model, developed by Nikolaus Troje, is a five-term Fourier series % with vector-valued coefficients that are the principal components for % data obtained in motion capture experiments involving subjects wearing % reflective markers walking on a treadmill. The components, which are % also known as "postures" or "eigenwalkers", correspond to the static % position, forward motion, sideways sway, and two hopping/bouncing % movements that differ in the phase relationship between the upper and % lower portions of the body. The postures are also classified by gender. % Sliders allow you to vary the amount that each component contributes to % the overall motion. A slider setting greater than 1.0 overemphasizes % the characteristic. Can you see whether positive values of the gender % coefficient correspond to male or female subjects? % % References: % http://www.bml.psy.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Demos % http://www.biomotionlab.de/Text/WDP2002_Troje.pdf % http://journalofvision.org/2/5/2 clf shg set(gcf,'doublebuf','on','color','w','name','Walker','numbertitle','off') set(gca,'pos',get(gca,'pos')+[0 .07 0 0]) % The body is represented by 15 points in three space, i.e. a vector of % length 45.
