Human Sensing
Image-based measurement of the human body and vital signs for medical, welfare, and health applications.
COMPUTATIONAL SENSING / 3D VISION / BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Reading light and space,building intelligencefor the future.
Through 3D sensing, image recognition, and AI,
we explore new ways to measure people, environments, and agriculture.
POINT CLOUDDEPTH / RGB / MOTION
Media Interaction
Human–machine interaction and the relationship between art and technology.
Smart Agriculture
Image-sensing systems for smart agriculture and artificial-light plant factories.
OUR APPROACHFrom measurement to understanding.
Sensing that
connects with society.
Aoki Laboratory conducts research in image engineering, biomedical engineering, welfare engineering, sports engineering, and art that uses technology.
With the goal of turning research outcomes into social contribution, we pursue themes with practical application in mind and actively collaborate with universities, medical institutions, companies, and research institutes.
SELECTED PROJECTSResearch projects
From minute signs of life and plant growth
to human perception and expression.
Non-contact respiration measurement
We use 3D image sensors to extract subtle respiratory motion from large body movements such as pedaling, and explore pulmonary-function testing that avoids contact with equipment.
Joint research with Hokkaido University Hospital, Saitama Medical University, and local companiesNon-contact heartbeat measurement
Minute cardiac motion appearing on the chest wall is measured and visualized without contact, enabling us to explore ways of seeing the state of the heart alongside auscultation and palpation.
Joint research with Tokyo Women's Medical University and The Jikei UniversityPlant growth monitoring
We quantify plant growth through 3D imaging, transforming field observations into reproducible numerical information.
Featured on TV Hokkaido (TVh)Haptics for calligraphy skill transfer
A haptic device conveys an instructor's motion and the minute force at the brush tip, supporting the embodied acquisition of calligraphy skills.
Featured on NHK BSInteractive art
We create and exhibit artworks that respond to people and space by applying 3D imaging and LED lighting.
Exhibited at Sapporo Cultural Arts Community Center SCARTSPseudo-haptic interfaces
We develop interfaces that use vision and human perception to create sensations of weight or lightness without applying mechanical force.
Turning perception into human-centered technologyABOUT AOKI LABOur laboratory
EST. 2013.07
Turning trial and error
into forward motion.
Since the laboratory was established in July 2013, we have steadily built research achievements together with our students. We value crossing disciplinary boundaries to create technologies that truly work in the field.
