Polish-Japanese Academy  of  Information  Technology

Polish-Japanese  Academy  of  Information  Technology  (PJAIT) is located in Warsaw, Poland.
PJAIT has  a  strong focus on research and technology transfer projects. Participation in EU projects on telemedicine, artificial intelligence, human motion  analysis  and  synthesis,  homeland  security  or  speech  processing  allowed expanding  its  laboratory base and competency of the staff to the internationally-recognized level.  The PJAIT facility in Bytom carries out research projects in the areas of application of modern information technologies in different aspects of social and business life. Examples include medicine, public and national security. We developed, among others, a system of visual monitoring for the identification of persons and behaviour patterns, thus helping to detect potentially hazardous situations. Another important project done at PJAIT Bytom is the Human Motion Lab (HML). It is the first laboratory of this kind in Poland which provides remote access to a specialized database of human motion and to advanced technologies for the measurement of crucial motion-related parameters. HML can be used by medical doctors from all over Poland as a tool aiding in patient diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring. PJAIT’s specialists have developed sophisticated software, called Motion Data Editor (EDR) to improve the quality of orthopaedic diagnosis and rehabilitation.
The laboratory offers also solutions for producers of computer games, videoclips, commercials, etc. such as the option of remote directing and management of motion capture sessions, as well as quick access to results. Specialised software makes it possible to register specific aspects, such as facial expressions, hand and finger movements, foot movements, etc.
