Experimental evaluation of kinect and inertial sensors for beating heart tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the use of Kinect depth sensors as well as inertial sensors in the context of beating heart surgery. In the past, various sensors have been used in attempts to track the beating heart, each with its own distinct set of advantages and disadvantages. With the availability of affordable structured-light depth sensors such as the Kinect and sufficiently small and low priced inertial sensors, the question of their suitability for beating heart tracking arises. We performed in-vivo experiments on a porcine heart in order to assess the feasibility of beating heart tracking based on these sensors.

A Real-time Motion Tracking Wireless System for Upper Limb Exosuit Based on Inertial Measurement Units and Flex Sensors (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper puts forward a real-time angular tracking (motion capture) system for a low cost upper limb exosuit based on sensor fusion; which is integrated by an elastic sleeve-mitten, two inertial measurement units (IMU), two flex sensors and a wireless communication system. The device can accurately detect the angular position of the shoulder (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and interna...
متن کاملHybrid Orientation Based Human Limbs Motion Tracking Method
One of the key technologies that lays behind the human-machine interaction and human motion diagnosis is the limbs motion tracking. To make the limbs tracking efficient, it must be able to estimate a precise and unambiguous position of each tracked human joint and resulting body part pose. In recent years, body pose estimation became very popular and broadly available for home users because of ...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Evaluating Markerless Motion Tracking Using Inertial Sensors
In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for automatically evaluating the quality of 3D tracking results obtained from markerless motion capturing. In our approach, we use additional inertial sensors to generate suitable reference information. In contrast to previously used marker-based evaluation schemes, inertial sensors are inexpensive, easy to operate, and impose comparatively weak add...
