Hello everyone,
I am a computer science student and in general very new to sensor technology. I am currently working on a motion tracking application which should capture the human pose, the movements of legs and arms and the overall position of a person in real time and over a longer period of time. I want to desing wearable motion sensors that can be attached to the body joints. The system should be very accurate and precise. Even little body movements should already be captured.
I came across the IMU sensors of Bosch and they look quite promising, but I have multiple question:
1. Motion drift: When a person wears the sensors and moves through a room, do the sensor values start drifting over time? For example if the accelleration is a litte bit off sometimes, then those errors are accumulating over time right?
2. Which IMU sensor has the highest precision and accuracy?
3. How do I get started in general? What else do I need beside the sensor? How do I get started? I couldn't find any tutorials or manuals explaining this.
Thanks you.
