The HuMAnS Toolbox

Documentation

A tutorial is available for introducing new users to the HuMAnS toolbox. Sources of a series of Sample Applications are also available for you to have a look at and modify at will, what would constitute a thorough introduction to all the details of the toolbox. These are the Applications shown in the Screenshots section. Please have a look at the README file for learning how to run these Sample Applications.

Other general overviews of the HuMAnS toolbox appear in the following scientific articles from the BIPOP team:

• "Hybrid dynamics for the simulation of rehabilitation to walking by FES", Pierre-Brice Wieber and Florence Billet, in proceedings of the seventh International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, Antibes, France, march 2006,
• "The HuMAnS toolbox, a homogeneous framework for motion capture, analysis and simulation", Pierre-Brice Wieber, Florence Billet, Laurence Boissieux, Roger Pissard-Gibollet, in proceedings of the ninth ISB Symposium on 3D analysis of human movement, Valenciennes, France, june 2006.

More advanced documentations on the details of the toolbox are also available in two forms:

• a Doxygen generated draft of a developer documentation (html),
• a draft of a User Documentation (pdf).
