Discover the Power of 3D Motion Tracking with Tri Axial Accelerometers

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the use of tri axial accelerometers for measuring athlete velocity and 3D motion tracking. Participants seek detailed information on the operation of these devices and their application in projects related to motion tracking.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant is looking for detailed information on how a wireless tri axial accelerometer works for measuring athlete velocity.
  • Another participant is using an accelerometer that provides data on a chart and seeks advice on how to display only the maximum acceleration value on a monitor.
  • A different participant is requesting a comprehensive description of how 3D motion tracking is performed, indicating that existing resources provide only brief explanations.
  • One participant questions whether the use of an accelerometer is necessary for motion tracking or if alternative methods, such as video camera mechanisms, could be employed, and asks about the constraints of the project.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus among participants, as multiple questions and requests for information remain unresolved, and various approaches to motion tracking are being considered.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified the constraints of their projects in detail, nor have they clarified the definitions or parameters of the motion tracking they are discussing.

tri axial accelerometer

Hi,
I'm doing a project to do with measuring velocity of an athlete.
I'm looking into using a wireless tri axial accelerometer.
I can't seem to find enough detailed information into how it works.
Could you please help!

recordings from accelerometers

Hi,
I'm currently using an accelerometer and it gives me data on a chart.
The acceleration is plotted on the graph and the max acceleration is shown aswel.
My main aim is highlight the max acceleration and show this figure without the graph on a monitor.
For example, my accelerometer gives a max acceleration of 9m/s, i want just this figure to be displayed on a monitor.
How can this be done or is it even possible?
Regards!

Are you constrained to using an accelerometer for the motion tracking, or can you use some other means? Does the tracking have to be self-contained on the person, or can part of it be something like a video camera mechanism tracking the motion? What are the constraints of this project?
