Abstract

Parameters characterizing the orientation and the position of each sensor, including at least one accelerometer, are evaluated in the reference frame of each segment, together with the length of each segment, by using predetermined configurations and motions of a structure to which the sensors are attached. This makes it possible to provide a device for capturing the motions of a body with measurements which enables greater reliability of the measurements.
