Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method of personalpositioning for a wearable Augmented Reality (AR)system that allows a user to freely move around indoorsand outdoors.The user is equipped with self-containedsensors, a wearable camera, an inertial headtracker and display.The method is based on sensorfusion of estimates for relative displacement causedby human walking locomotion and estimates for absoluteposition and orientation within a Kalman filteringframework.The former is based on intensive analysisof human walking behavior using self-containedsensors.The latter is based on image matching ofvideo frames from a wearable camera with an imagedatabase that was prepared beforehand.

Analyzing Walking with Ankle Foot Orthoses Using Shank-mounted Wearable Movement Sensors
ASSETS '23: Proceedings of the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

An Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) is a device that supports the ankle joint to help improve gait. When fitting AFOs, clinicians tune the AFO, and the success of the tuning is often determined by observation, e.g. of a patient walking up and down a corridor. ...
Gait determination and activity measurement in horses using an accelerometer

The observation of locomotor activity and resting behaviour is used to determine time budgets, which may give some indication for the assessment of horses' welfare concerning management and housing. As an alternative to time-consuming direct ...
Multi-channel Fusion Based Adaptive Gait Trajectory Generation Using Wearable Sensors

This paper presents a method to regenerate lower limb joint angle trajectories during gait cycle by judging human intention using wearable sensor system. Myoelectric signals from user are used to detect the intention of gait initiation and gait phases. ...
