Abstract:In view of traditional motion capture systems such as optical and mechanical which have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, application environment and accuracy, a motion capture system based on inertial sensor is designed. By using inertial sensor nodes in various parts of the human body, the motion data is collected in real time, and sent to the data processing terminal to store and display through WIFI. The experimental proved the designed motion capture system can correctly collect the inertial motion data. The system is not limited by time and place, and has the characteristics of low cost, convenient wearing and simple operation. It can be applied to various fields such as medicine, sports and military, etc.
