A new method to solve kinematic consistency problem based on optimization techniques and Euler parameters

摘要

The estimation of the skeletal motion obtained from marker-based motion capture systems affects the results of the kinematic and dynamic analysis of biomechanical systems. A new method based on optimization techniques and Euler parameters has been developed in this work and compared with other approaches found in the literature. Results show that for a theoretical motion this new method gives better results with a lower level of error.
