Abstract: Provided are an analysis device, an analysis method, a program, and a calibration method. The analysis device includes: an obtaining part obtaining an image captured by an image capturing part that captures an image of one or more first markers provided on an estimation target; and a calibration part calibrating a conversion rule from a sensor coordinate system to a segment coordinate system based on the image. A posture of the first marker relative to at least one inertial measurement sensor does not change, and the posture with respect to the image capturing part is recognizable by analyzing the captured image. The calibration part derives the posture of the first marker with respect to the image capturing part, derives a conversion matrix from the sensor coordinate system to a camera coordinate system based on the derived posture, and calibrates the conversion rule by using the derived conversion matrix.

Abstract: An encoder unit comprising an object to be detected having a track having a first region with a magnetization pattern at a predetermined pitch and a second region having no periodic magnetization pattern, and a detector having a magnetoresistance effect element arranged in the direction which intersects the direction of the magnetic flux of the magnetization pattern and in opposed relationship with the object to be detected. The encoder unit is simple in construction yet capable of detecting the position of the object to be detected with a higher degree of accuracy than conventional encoders.
