On Inertial Body Tracking in the Presence of Model Calibration Errors

  • Markus Miezal,
  • Bertram Taetz and
  • Gabriele Bleser

22 July 2016

In inertial body tracking, the human body is commonly represented as a biomechanical model consisting of rigid segments with known lengths and connecting joints. The model state is then estimated via sensor fusion methods based on data from attached...

  • Feng Guo,
  • Huawei Liu,
  • Jingchang Huang,
  • Xin Zhang,
  • Xingshui Zu,
  • Baoqing Li and
  • Xiaobing Yuan

22 July 2016

In this paper, we introduce a sub-band direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method suitable for employment within an automatic bearing tracking system. Inspired by the magnitude-squared coherence (MSC), we extend the MSC to the sub-band and propose...
