However, this is a challenging perception problem due to a variety of factors, including bedding covering the body, nearby medical equipment, and the unavailability of well-labeled perceptual data. To overcome these challenges, we use a pressure sensing array on the bed to sense the body in a manner that is insensitive to bedding, and physics simulations to automatically generate synthetic perceptual data at scale with labels. We also develop novel deep learning models, including a model that infers body shape and pose from a real pressure image when trained exclusively on synthetic data. For the remainder of this dissertation, we propose new investigations into the use of a depth sensing camera above the bed to complement the pressure sensing array, and the use of our estimation methods for assistive robotics application.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Human Pose Estimation in Bed"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2020-05-20 19:56:42","changed_gmt":"2020-05-20 19:56:42","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-06-02T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2020-06-02T15:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-06-02T15:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-06-02 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-06-02 19:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-06-02 19:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
