In this paper, a technique based on body features is employed to develop a system for sports training, healthcare and medical diagnosis through reusing huge amount of video resources, and extracting useful information from them. This technique realizes the motion capture by using existing video of human motion. The predefined human model is matched and identified with a sequence of videos. The interested feature points are tracked and calculated using relevant features of the human body. During the tracking, the human model is used for the conditional constraint and corrections. The approach is easy and quick. The efficiency of capture, stability and accuracy of the tracking are improved greatly with a low requirement for hardware specification. The 2D motion data can be generated easily and conveniently for 3D motion reconstruction in this system.

In this paper a two-dimensional (2-D) dynamicmodel, based on a tensor formulation and solved numericallyby combining finite elements and finite differences, is proposedand used for analyzing nematic liquid crystal (LC) test cells withinterdigital electrodes. We compare theoretical and experimentalresults concerning the switching behavior, response mechanism,and viewing angle characteristics of nematic LC pixel structureswhich use the in-plane-switching (IPS) mode. The good agreementobserved between theory and experiment in terms of electroopticalproperties validates our modeling and demonstrates itspotential for design optimization. We show that the proposed LCtest cells, using the in-plane-switching mode, ensure switching-ON and -OFF response times of 22 and 28 ms, respectively, andexcellent viewing angle characteristics.

A molecular-dynamics study has been made of the influence of solute content on low-energy displacement cascade processes in copper containing up to 15 at. % Au in solid solution. This alloy system was chosen to illustrate the effects of heavy, oversized solute atoms in a fcc matrix. Cascades of up to 2ke Vin energy were considered. The presence of the solute was found to have a significant impact on all phases of cascade development, but not on the final defect number. The ballistic phase is increased in duration, and the number of temporarily displaced atoms is increased by the solute, and the thermal spike that follows is also increased in intensity and duration. As a consequence, the atomic mixing associated with these two phases was highest in the Cu–15% Au alloy that contained the most solute. However, as a result of self-healing in the thermal spike, the final number of Frenkel defects is independent of alloy composition. To test the influence of solute atomic mass, simulations were carried out on copper containing solute atoms with the same size as Au, but a lighter mass than copper. The alloys with this fictitious element did not show the ballistic-and thermal-spike effects exhibited by those containing "normal" gold. The results are discussed in terms of the likely roles of solutes in damage evolution in alloys under cascade-producing irradiation.

The influence of solute atoms on point-defect properties and defect generation by radiation damage in alloys is known to be important, and hence it is desirable to understand their effect on the basic mecha- nisms involved. Most computer modeling of these phenomena has only considered pure metals, but as part of a project to investigate displacement cascades in alloys, we have simulated dilute solutions of gold (Au) in copper (Cu), treating this as a "model" for a heavy, oversized solute alloy system. In the present paper, modified many-body interatomic potentials for the Cu-Au system are described that are suitable for modeling high-energy atomic collisions. The properties of point defects in pure copper and the dilute alloy, including solute-defect binding energies, are presented. The oversized solute has a larger binding energy with an interstitial atom than with a vacancy. The displacement threshold energy, Ea, of a Cu atom and a Au atom in the copper matrix has been investigated as a function of primary recoil direction, and the difference between the two species is found to be substantial. Furthermore, the pres- ence of a Au solute has a significant effect on the formation of Frenkel pairs by the replacement- collision-sequence mechanism. These results are discussed in terms of the mass and size difference of Cu and Au atoms.

e, fcc solid solution: we have taken Ni3Al and a Au solute in copper as examples of these systems. Many-body interatomic potentials for these alloys have been used, but modified at small separations to provide suitable descriptions of collisions at near-threshold energies. The properties of point defects associated with a single Au solute atom in a copper matrix are presented, and it is then shown that the threshold energy, Ed, for the Au recoil in this alloy is smaller and has much less orientation-dependence than is found for a Cu recoil in the pure metal. This effect is related to the number of atoms temporarily displaced from their sites during the creation of a stable Frenkel pair. Ed for Al in Ni3Al is much higher than in pure aluminium and similar in size to that of a Ni atom. The stable defect arrangements produced at threshold are in general much more complex than for pure metals, and defects on the Ni sublattices are usually the majority species. A striking effect occurs for 110 recoils along mixed Ni-Al-Ni-Al- … rows, for chains of antisite defects created by replacement sequences break to form two Frenkel pairs for each primary recoil atom.
