The measurement of bio-mechanical loads is important for various applications, such as healthcare, sports, and human-computer interaction. To obtain a detailed view of the bio-mechanical loads, it is necessary to monitor the strain distribution on the body surface which is perpendicular to the pressure. The current strain sensing methods lack scalability and comfort for body-scaled usage. We desig...Show More
Pressure-sensitive smart textiles are widely applied in the fields of healthcare, sports monitoring, and intelligent homes. The integration of devices embedded with pressure sensing arrays is expected to enable comprehensive scene coverage and multi-device integration. However, the implementation of identity recognition, a fundamental function in this context, relies on extensive device-specific d...Show More
Poses are the fundamentals of human activities and there are growing applications in healthcare, fitness, and virtual reality. Despite massive advances in estimating human poses using cameras, these approaches are not suitable in open areas where people could move freely. Recent advances in wearable pressure sensing systems bring the possibility to estimate human poses in open areas in a more comf...Show More
Wearable sensing fabrics have great potential for applications such as human-computer interaction, motion monitoring, and human shape reconstruction. However, existing fabric sensors tend to sacrifice wearing comfort for sensing functionality, which restricts their application scenarios and hampers long-term usability due to poor wearability. To address this challenge, a novel fabric structure was...Show More
Tactile sensation is important for human beings that equips the whole-body surface. To understand what kind of force distribution our bodies might sense, we created a set of pressure-sensing garment consisting of a sweater and trousers, which provides 1952 sensing points and covers 80% of the body surface evenly. As our skin works days and nights, an ideal pressure acquisition system for such purp...Show More
Body weight, as an essential physiological trait, is of considerable significance in many applications like body management, rehabilitation, and drug dosing for patient-specific treatments. Previous works on the body weight estimation task are mainly vision-based, using 2D/3D, depth, or infrared images, facing problems in illumination, occlusions, and especially privacy issues. The pressure mappin...Show More
Textile pressure sensing has been proved to be useful for activity recognition in both wearable and ambient intelligence domains. The sensors are organized in a matrix format and their resistances are linked to the pressure asserted onto them. While there have been many works exploring its applications, the relationship between the resistance distribution and the numeric data output, has not been ...Show More
