Abstract
In this study, to support handicapped people, especially focusing on a hemiplegic person, a life support system is proposed. For improving their QoL, the system is required to support their early rehabilitation rather than care for whole ADLs. Therefore, we propose a system, which measures and estimates a state or a condition of a patient using multiple RGB-D sensors. In the system, by calculating angle and estimating position of each joints, the Brunnstrom stage of patient is estimated based on a method proposed by Ueda. On the other hand, in the case of measurement using only a RGB-D sensor, some joints are occluded by the other objects and their positions are not able to be estimated. In this paper, to avoid occlusions, a way of measurement a motion of patients using multiple RGB-D sensors is described.
