  • Publication number: 20250391036
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices are disclosed for improving markerless motion analysis of an object in contact with a user. One method including: receiving position data of an object in motion captured by at least one camera; enhancing, using model equations, three-dimensional (3D) angular kinematic data of the position data of the object, wherein the enhanced 3D angular kinematic data includes increased measurement accuracy of the position data of the object; and providing the enhanced 3d angular kinematic data for display to evaluate motion performance of the object.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 12361565
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices are disclosed for improving markerless motion analysis. One method including: receiving position data of joint centers of a body in motion captured by at least one camera; enhancing, using model equations, three-dimensional (3D) angular kinematic data of the position data of the joint centers of the body, wherein the enhanced 3D angular kinematic data includes increased measurement accuracy of the position data of the joint centers of the body; and providing the enhanced 3d angular kinematic data for display to evaluate motion performance.

  • Publication number: 20170000389
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure may include initializing a first plurality of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and a second plurality of IMUs, and attaching the first plurality of IMUs to a first segment of a subject and the second plurality of IMUs to a second segment of the subject. Such a method may also include obtaining data from the first plurality of IMUs and the second plurality of IMUs as the subject performs a motion, and determining an absolute position of the first segment and the second segment based on the data.
