    Abstract: A system and method is provided for improving sensor precision. In a training phase, a relatively low precision sensor system and a relatively high precision sensor system may record relatively low precision and relatively high precision training motion signals respectively of substantially the same training scene. Machine learning may be performed to generate a transformation mapping information from the relatively low precision training motion signal to the relatively high precision training motion signal. In a run-time phase, a run-time sensor system having a precision significantly less than the precision of the relatively high precision sensor system, may record run-time motion signals of a run-time scene. The run-time motion signal may be transformed using the transformation to generate a transformed run-time motion signal with a precision significantly greater than the precision of the run-time sensor system.

  • Patent number: 11237624
    Abstract: A method for adapting auditory biofeedback cues to adjust a user's gait includes receiving a series of respective first signals from each sensor of an integrated sensor system and converting the series of respective first signals into a series of respective second signals. Each respective second signal within the series of respective second signals can be quantized as an audio biofeedback cue and modified so the timing of each respective second signal is aligned to a pre-selected temporal or musical grid. The user's gait is then analyzed as a function of the audio biofeedback cues and the pre-selected temporal or musical grid can be adapted to adjust entrainment of the user's gait.
