INERTIAL MOTION CAPTURE SYSTEM FOR BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS IN PRESSURE SUITS
… providing a new capability for quantifying the motion of the human inside a space suit. Based on an array of six microprocessors and eighteen microelectromechanical (MEMS) inertial measurement units (IMUs), the Body Pose Measurement System (BPMS) allows the monitoring of the kinematics of the …

On Natural Motion Processing using Inertial Motion Capture and Deep Learning
Human motion collected in real-world environments without instruction from researchers - or natural motion - is an understudied area of the field of motion capture that could increase the efficacy of assistive devices such as exoskeletons, robotics, and prosthetics. With this goal in mind, a …

Wearable Sensor System for Quantifying Proprioceptive Competence in Microgravity
… pilot tested a wearable sensor system capable of inertial motion capture in the parabolic flight environment. Through comparing whole-body joint fluidity in translation movements done in 1-g and microgravity, we found evidence suggesting an increased fluidity upon entry into microgravity and …

Development of a Self-Calibrated Motion Capture System by Nonlinear Trilateration of Multiple Kinects v2
… paper, a Kinect-based distributed and real-time motion capture system is developed. A trigonometric method is applied to calculate the relative positions of Kinect v2 sensors with a calibration wand and register the sensors’ positions automatically. By combining results from multiple sensors with …

MIMU sensors for joint kinematic estimation: anatomical landmarking and frame correction
The ability to capture human motion allows researchers to evaluate an individual’s gait. Gait can be measured in different ways, from camera-based systems to Magnetic and Inertial Measurement Units (MIMU). The former uses cameras to track positional information of photo-reflective markers, while …
