AbstractTaking human movements has very good prospects of application in sports, animated projects, medicine and health and other areas. This article aims to study the human motion capture system in sports performances based on the Internet of Things technology and wireless inertial sensors. This article first introduces the theory and characteristics of the Internet of Things and motion capture; next, according to the different characteristics of the sensors in the inertial motion capture system, a two-step Kalman filter is proposed to process the accelerometer and the magnetometer separately and, finally, the structure of this article. The human body motion model is used to analyze the acceleration dynamic error that occurs during the motion. In addition, an inertial motion capture system is constructed to obtain and visualize the structure of each motion node. The experimental results in this paper show that the Kalman filtering algorithm can ensure the accuracy of angle estimation under different motion states and has good fault tolerance to external interference. Among them, the error of the static state is reduced by 23.1%.

Digital sports training based on digital video image processing promises to reduce the reliance on the experience of coaches in the table tennis training process and to achieve a more general physical education base. Based on this approach, this paper describes the specific forms of exercise content, movement characteristics, and skill levels in the table tennis framework and specifies the calculation methods of motion capture and movement characteristics suitable for table tennis. Meanwhile, to further improve the accuracy of the inertial motion capture system in restoring the position posture of the trainees, this paper improves the original inertial motion capture system from two aspects: contact judgment of both feet and correction of the position posture based on the contact position constraint. The simulation results show that the corrected human posture has good action smoothness. This paper first proposes a knowledge-based generic sports-assisted training framework based on generalizing the traditional sports training model. The framework contains four main modules: domain knowledge, trainees, sport evaluation, and controller. The domain knowledge module is a digital representation of the knowledge of the exercise content, improvement instructions, and skill indicators of the sport; the trainee module is the active response of the trainee to the exercise content and improvement instructions; the motion evaluation module uses motion capture technology to obtain the raw motion data of the trainee and further calculates the motion characteristics; the controller module proposes improvement instructions to the trainee or makes him/her practice new content based on the results of the motion evaluation. Based on the results of the motion evaluation, the controller module proposes improvement instructions or makes the trainee practice new content until the trainee achieves the desired goal.
