Abstract:
Technology for a method of detecting a user hand by a user hand detecting device. The method according to an aspect of the present invention includes extracting a first mask image from a depth image in which the user hand is imaged; extracting a second mask image having a preset skin color value among regions corresponding to the first mask image in a color image in which the user hand is imaged; generating a skin color value histogram model in a color space different from a region of the color image corresponding to a color region of the second mask image; generating a skin color probability image of the different color space from the color image using the skin color value histogram model and an algorithm for detecting a skin color region; and combining the skin color probability image with the second mask image and detecting the user's hand region.

Abstract:
A tactile music learning apparatus converts sound data of a user's voice corresponding to original music into first tactile data including tactile information, generates a synchronized tactile pattern by synchronizing the first tactile data with second tactile data including tactile information corresponding to sound data of the original music, and transfers the synchronized tactile pattern to a tactile reproducing apparatus to allow the tactile reproducing apparatus to reproduce the synchronized tactile pattern.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a system and a method for volitional electromyography (vEMG) signal detection from an EMG signal when functional electrical stimulation (FES) is applied. The system for vEMG signal detection includes a receiver for receiving data from an EMG electrode when FES is applied, a memory for storing a program for detecting a vEMG signal using the received data, and a processor for executing the program, wherein the processor cuts the data received from the EMG electrode disposed at a predetermined position, calculates a difference between data for previous FES and data for current FES, and detects the vEMG signal using the calculated difference.
Abstract:
A sensory substitution method includes obtaining a color image by using a sensor device, converting color information about the color image, received from the sensor device, into tactile information by using a user terminal, and generating a tactile stimulus corresponding to the tactile information received from the user terminal by using a tactile output device.
