The Drift of the Xsens Moven Motion Capturing Suit during Common Movements in a Working Environment

摘要

When using inertial motion capturing technology, the accuracy of the results is strongly influenced by the so-called drift. This paper describes the drift of an Xsens Moven motion capturing suit during common movements, measured in a standard working environment. The test is performed in a room not shielded from magnetic disturbances, to acquire insight on how accurate the absolute position determination of the motion capturing system is during use in a standard environment. The test is performed by walking a path with the same start and end point, and reviewing the measured difference in the absolute position of one sensor.
