  • Publication number: 20210343028
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200078254
    Abstract: A method for calibrating an inertial measurement sensor in an accurate manner even when the sensor is attached to a patient who has difficulty in standing upright or maintaining an upright posture due to a posture or movement impairment. The method includes attaching an inertial measurement sensor (2) for detecting three-axis acceleration and three-axis angular velocity to each of a torso, a femoral part and a crural part of a user (U) for measuring a movement of the user, and having the user sit on a chair (20) in a standard posture in which the torso and the crural part of the user are substantially parallel to each other, and the femoral part is substantially orthogonal to the torso and the crural part, and calibrating the inertial measurement sensors by using outputs of the inertial measurement sensors when the user is in the standard posture as reference values.
