Abstract
Recently, reduction of the construction cost and insufficiency of skilled hands are becoming serious problems on the construction plant from the point of view of the work efficiency. With this motive, the authors have been developing an ERGOMA system for improvement of working environment or evaluation of the work efficiency on the construction plant using sequential images. However, visualization or animation procedures are needed for easy understanding of human motion, for improvement of working environment or evaluation of the work efficiency on an ERGOMA system.
This paper describes visualization of human motion using animation techniques, and investigates working load on the waist on the construction plant using 3D data of the waist and the head (helmet) obtained from video image sequences.
