Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Barbara Hammer: “Computer-Implemented Method for Learning Movement Model, Non-Transitory Computer-Readable Storage Medium and Human Movement Analyzing System.” The method processes time-series movement measurements from one or more sensors, divides the data into segments corresponding to movement steps, and clusters those segments using computed distances. It then learns a topology-preserving feature representation, aligns and averages segments to create prototype segments, and updates a movement model by comparing cluster counts across successive analyses. This approach is intended to support the analysis and modeling of human movement. The listed patent count is 1 patent.
