Abstract

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for recognizing a posture based on a distributed fusion filter. The apparatus for recognizing a posture based on a distributed fusion filter includes a calculation unit for generating first position information about a joint of a user by receiving measurement signals from multiple inertial sensors placed on a body of the user, a recognition unit for generating second position information using output information acquired in such a way that a vision sensor captures an image of the user, and a fusion unit for fusing the first position information with the second position information and generating final position information about the joint of the user using the fused information.
