Freezing of Gait Prediction Under Spatial Occlusion: An IMU-Supervised Cross-Modal Distillation Approach
Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →The paper introduces a cross‑modal distillation framework that combines the accuracy of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data with the practicality of video‑based gait analysis to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s patients. By extracting invariant latent topologies from a pre‑trained kinematic oracle, the method supervises a visual architecture and fuses skeletal graph nodes with continuous spatial pixels to handle severe spatial occlusion during continuous 360° turns. Experiments on a public multimodal dataset show that this approach reduces tracking entropy and achieves precise FOG predictions without requiring wearable sensors.
