  • Publication number: 20230392955
    Abstract: A method including: wirelessly transmitting and receiving data packets between first and second apparatuses; determining first and second angles of arrival at each apparatus for electromagnetic waves of the received data packets; providing first and second directions of arrival corresponding to the angles of arrival; converting the first and second directions into a global frame; projecting the first and second converted directions onto a horizontal plane; and computing a first drift estimate for a gyroscope or IMU of the first apparatus relative to the second apparatus, and/or computing a second drift estimate for a gyroscope or IMU of the second apparatus relative to the first apparatus, the first drift estimate being based on a difference between the projected second direction and a mirrored projected first direction, and the second drift estimate being based on a difference between the projected first direction and a mirrored projected second direction.

  • Publication number: 20230166155
    Abstract: A method: includes the following steps: processing, by a computing device, at least a stretch value per strap of straps of a motion tracking system; comparing, by the computing device, the stretch value of each strap or a length value derived therefrom with a stored baseline value of the respective strap, the stored value being associated with the same person, and the length value being representative of a length of a respective strap at least based on the respective stretch value. The method further includes executing, by the computing device, a corrective action at least when one of the comparisons made exceeds a predetermined threshold. Also, a motion tracking system, a data processing device, a computer program, and a computer-readable medium are related.

  • Publication number: 20230003863
    Abstract: Motion tracking systems and methods for determining how trackers are positioned on body members of a person, the methods including: wirelessly receiving, by a computing device, one or more first data packets of each tracker; digitally determining a first direction in which the computing device is relative to the respective tracker by computing an angle of departure of the one or more first data packets; digitally determining based on the first directions, a second direction in which each tracker is relative to one or more other trackers; and digitally determining on which body member is each tracker positioned on the person at least based on both the second directions and the body members requiring to have a tracker positioned thereon. Also, systems and methods in which angles of arrival are computed for determining the first directions.
