- A FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON 3-D ANALYSIS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT
-
-
- Satellite event to the Fourtheen Congress
- of the International Society of Biomechanics
-
-
- Under the patronage of the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BIOMECHANICS
-
-
- July 1st - 4th, 1993
- Parc du Futuroscope
- Poitiers, FRANCE
-
-
- The International Symposium of 3-D Analysis of Human Movement will be a
- scientific and technical forum for investigators of human motion,
- whether their work is applied to the study of musculo-skeletal
- disability or disease, sport and elite performance, or basic studies
- of biomechanics. By generating further communication and contact
- between investigators in divers ares, this meeting encourages discussion
- to cross the boundaries between scientific disciplines and specialities.
- This Symposium will be directed at sharing information and results
- relating to philosophies for solving problem on measurement and analysis,
- rather than only delivering recent research and study findings.
-
- SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
-
- The conference is spanned over nearly three days. There will be
- five keynote speakers in addition to oral presentations to be paired
- with discussion papers. Additional papers will accepted in the form of
- poster presentation. A Round Table as well as a Hyde Park Speakers'
- Corner are also planned.
-
- 1. Themes
-
- Data Capture: New intrumentation and specific hardware, accuracy
- and precision of various reconstruction techniques, interpolation and
- calibration, lens distortion correction, etc.
-
- Joint Motion: Location of markers, relation between external
- reference markers and joint movements, definition of local and global
- coordinate systems.
-
- Mechanical Models: 3-D kinematic and kinetic/dynamic joint models,
- finite element techniques, estimation of internal forces, model
- validation and sensitivity analysis.
-
- 3-D Representation: Computer-aided-graphics techniques and animation.
-
- 3-D Applications and Interpretation: 3-D variables used in the
- analysis of human movement and their relation to convential 2-D
- parameters.
-
- 2. Submission
-
- Those wishing to submit an abstract are asked to fill out the
- Request Form for an author's kit and fax, mail or E-mail it to the
- Permanent Secretariat.
-
- TECHNICAL PROGRAM
-
- As a complement to the scientific program, manufacturers of data
- capture systems will be given time during the meeting to inform
- the participants about their products. There is a possibility for
- commercial exhibition if there is a marked interest from the
- manufacturers. Those wishing to participate in the Technical
- Program are asked to fill out the Request Form and fax, mail or
- E-mail it to the Permanent Secretariat.
-
- SOCIAL PROGRAM
-
- There is also a very attractive social program consisting of a
- welcoming reception on the evening prior to the meeting (July 1st)
- and a tour of the Cognac region to be followed by a gastronomic
- dinner in one of the neighboring castles. Throughout the meeting,
- the participants will have access to the Parc du Futuroscope site
- featuring amazing cinematographic facilities including IMAX, OMNIMAX,
- double IMAX, dynamic, 360 degree and 3-D movie theaters to name but
- a few!
-
- TRAVEL INFORMATION
-
- Poitiers, a town of 83 000 inhabitants, is about 430 km south-west of
- Paris. It is a 90 minute non-stop ride on the TGV (Train a Grande
