Inertial sensor-based smoother for gait analysis

YS Suh - Sensors, 2014 - mdpi.com
An off-line smoother algorithm is proposed to estimate foot motion using an inertial sensor
unit (three-axis gyroscopes and accelerometers) attached to a shoe. The smoother gives …

The TRIAD algorithm as maximum likelihood estimation

MD Shuster - The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences, 2006 - Springer
The TRIAD algorithm is shown to be derivable as a maximum-likelihood estimator. In
particular, using the QUEST measurement model, the TRIAD attitude error covariance matrix …

Human movement analysis with inertial sensors

S Lambrecht, AJ del-Ama - Emerging Therapies in Neurorehabilitation, 2014 - Springer
Present-day systems for human movement analysis are not portable, have a limited capture
