TL;DR: WiTrack bridges a gap between RF-based localization systems which locate a user through walls and occlusions, and human-computer interaction systems like Kinect, which can track a user without instrumenting her body, but require the user to stay within the direct line of sight of the device.

Abstract: This paper introduces WiTrack, a system that tracks the 3D motion of a user from the radio signals reflected off her body. It works even if the person is occluded from the WiTrack device or in a different room. WiTrack does not require the user to carry any wireless device, yet its accuracy exceeds current RF localization systems, which require the user to hold a transceiver. Empirical measurements with a WiTrack prototype show that, on average, it localizes the center of a human body to within a median of 10 to 13 cm in the x and y dimensions, and 21 cm in the z dimension. It also provides coarse tracking of body parts, identifying the direction of a pointing hand with a median of 11.2°. WiTrack bridges a gap between RF-based localization systems which locate a user through walls and occlusions, and human-computer interaction systems like Kinect, which can track a user without instrumenting her body, but require the user to stay within the direct line of sight of the device.

Three Dimensional Characterization of Defects by Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Diffraction (ToFD) Technique
TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to develop an algorithm, as a prerequisite, to extend ToFD measurements to a three-dimensional space, for this purpose, a combination of multiple transmitting and receiving probes is proposed instead of just one pair commonly used in To FD measurements.

TL;DR: This work takes an object recognition approach, designing an intermediate body parts representation that maps the difficult pose estimation problem into a simpler per-pixel classification problem, and generates confidence-scored 3D proposals of several body joints by reprojecting the classification result and finding local modes.
