SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING SCALAR VALUES FROM MEASUREMENTS AND TELEMETRY RELATED TO A STRUCTURE SUBJECTED TO MOTION AND FORCE

摘要

This system and method can transmute complex measurements of structural phenomena into simple, human understandable scalars, which, in turn, can be used in informatics such as infographics. The system and method are particularly suited to, though not limited to, summarizing common phenomena in bat-and-ball sports such as baseball, cricket, golf, hockey and tennis. A set of metrics can comparatively summarize player performance and how to efficiently compute them from high frequency vibration data collected from sports equipment. Computational parameters can be manipulated in order to produce ideal metrics which account for human bias and the desire for familiar info-metric scales (such as a scale from 1 to 100).
