Abstract: Disclosed herein are a vision-based three-dimensional (3D) pose estimation system and a method for ergonomic risk assessment. An example system comprises a computing device configured to obtain a video capturing motions of a subject performing at least one working activity for a selected duration of time, perform a whole-body two dimensional (2D) pose estimation based at least on extracted frames of the video, perform a whole-body 3D pose estimation based at least on the whole-body 2D pose estimation, calculate joint angles based at least on the whole-body 3D pose estimation, and determine an ergonomic risk level of each identified joint using the joint angles.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are vision-based three-dimensional (3D) pose estimation system and method for ergonomic risk assessment. An example system may comprise a computing device configured to obtain a monocular video capturing motions of a subject performing at least one working activity for a selected duration of time, perform a whole-body two dimensional (2D) pose estimation based at least on extracted frames of the monocular video, perform a whole-body 3D pose estimation based at least on the whole-body 2D pose estimation, calculate joint angles based at least on the whole-body 3D pose estimation, determine a posture score for each identified joint in each frame of the monocular video, and determine an ergonomic risk level of each identified joint based at least upon the posture score.

Abstract: A merchandiser for elongate loaves of bread includes at least one rack having a rear wall, a front wall spaced apart from the rear wall, a pair of sidewalls disposed between the rear wall and the front wall along opposite sides thereof, and a bottom wall disposed between the rear wall, the sidewalls and the front wall along lower portions thereof. The walls support the bread loaves in a generally vertical, freestanding, side-by-side relationship. At least one heater is disposed along at least one of the rear wall or the front wall of the rack with the heater selectively heating the air disposed therein, such that air heated in the interior of the rack heats the vertically stacked bread loaves.

Abstract: A merchandiser for elongate loaves of fresh baked bread includes an open rack having a generally vertically extending rear wall, front wall, and side walls. The open rack further contains a bottom wall having at least one opening to permit the vertical flow of air therethrough, and is configured to support thereon the ends of the elongate loaves of bread in a generally vertical, freestanding, side by side relationship. The merchandiser includes a base which supports the open rack, and has a generally enclosed interior with a heater disposed therein for selectively heating the air, whereby the heated air flows upwardly through the opening in the bottom wall to warm the vertically stacked loaves of bread to maintain the fresh baked smell and feel of the bread loaves.
