Maintainability is a main design attribute of a civil airplane. So evaluation to the maintainability is very important for the design of the civil aircraft. The Human motion capture is a promising technique for maintainability evaluation. In this article, a method about the maintainability evaluation based on the optical motion capture system was presented. Then a test case was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. The test case mainly focused on the accessibility of the civil aircraft.

Motion-capture techniques are rarely based on orientation measurements for two main reasons: (1) optical motion-capture systems are designed for tracking object position rather than their orientation (which can be deduced from several trackers), (2) known animation techniques, like inverse kinematics or geometric algorithms, require position targets constantly, but orientation inputs only occasionally. We propose a complete human motion-capture technique based essentially on orientation measurements. The position measurement is used only for recovering the global position of the performer. This method allows fast tracking of human gestures for interactive applications as well as high rate recording. Several motion-capture optimizations, including the multijoint technique, improve the posture realism. This work is well suited for magnetic-based systems that rely more on orientation registration (in our environment) than position measurements that necessitate difficult system calibration.

As the effective capture region of optical motion capture system is limited by quantity, installation mode, resolution and focus of infrared cameras, the reflective markers on certain body parts (such as wrists, elbows, etc.) of multi-actual trainees may be obscured when they perform the collaborative interactive operation. To address this issue, motion data compensation method based on the additional feature information provided by the electromagnetic spatial position tracking equipment is proposed in this paper. The main working principle and detailed realization process of the proposed method are introduced step by step, and the practical implementation is presented to illustrate its validity and efficiency. The results show that the missing capture data and motion information of relevant obscured markers on arms can be retrieved with the proposed method, which can avoid the simulation motions of corresponding virtual operators being interrupted and deformed during the collaborative interactive operation process performed by multi-actual trainees with optical human motion capture system in a limited capture range.

AbstractHuman motion capture is commonly used in various fields, including sport, to analyze, understand, and synthesize kinematic and kinetic data. Specialized computer vision and marker-based optical motion capture techniques constitute the gold-standard for accurate and robust human motion capture. The dataset presented consists of recordings of 37 Kyokushin karate athletes of different ages (children, young people, and adults) and skill levels (from 4th dan to 9th kyu) executing the following techniques: reverse lunge punch (Gyaku-Zuki), front kick (Mae-Geri), roundhouse kick (Mawashi-Geri), and spinning back kick (Ushiro-Mawashi-Geri). Each technique was performed approximately three times per recording (i.e., to create a single data file), and under three conditions where participants kicked or punched (i) in the air, (ii) a training shield, or (iii) an opponent. Each participant undertook a minimum of two trials per condition. The data presented was captured using a Vicon optical motion capture system with Plug-In Gait software. Three dimensional trajectories of 39 reflective markers were recorded. The resultant dataset contains a total of 1,411 recordings, with 3,229 single kicks and punches. The recordings are available in C3D file format. The dataset provides the opportunity for kinematic analysis of different combat sport techniques in attacking and defensive situations.

Development of wearable robots is accelerating. Walking robots mimic human behavior and must operate without accidents. Human motion data are needed to train these robots. We developed a system for extracting human motion data and displaying them graphically.We extracted motion data using a Perception Neuron motion capture system and used the Unity engine for the simulation. Several experiments were performed to demonstrate the accuracy of the extracted motion data.Of the various methods used to collect human motion data, markerless motion capture is highly inaccurate, while optical motion capture is very expensive, requiring several high-resolution cameras and a large number of markers. Motion capture using a magnetic field sensor is subject to environmental interference. Therefore, we used an inertial motion capture system. Each movement sequence involved four and was repeated 10 times. The data were stored and standardized. The motions of three individuals were compared to those of a reference person; the similarity exceeded 90% in all cases. Our rehabilitation robot accurately simulated human movements: individually tailored wearable robots could be designed based on our data. Safe and stable robot operation can be verified in advance via simulation. Walking stability can be increased using walking robots trained via machine learning algorithms.

Portable inertial measurement units (IMUs) are beginning to be used in human motion analysis. These devices can be useful for the evaluation of spinal mobility in individuals with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The objectives of this study were to assess (a) concurrent criterion validity in individuals with axSpA by comparing spinal mobility measured by an IMU sensor-based system vs. optical motion capture as the reference standard; (b) discriminant validity comparing mobility with healthy volunteers; (c) construct validity by comparing mobility results with relevant outcome measures. A total of 70 participants with axSpA and 20 healthy controls were included. Individuals with axSpA completed function and activity questionnaires, and their mobility was measured using conventional metrology for axSpA, an optical motion capture system, and an IMU sensor-based system. The UCOASMI, a metrology index based on measures obtained by motion capture, and the IUCOASMI, the same index using IMU measures, were also calculated. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to show the relationships between outcome measures. There was excellent agreement (ICC > 0.90) between both systems and a significant correlation between the IUCOASMI and conventional metrology (r = 0.91), activity (r = 0.40), function (r = 0.62), quality of life (r = 0.55) and structural change (r = 0.76). This study demonstrates the validity of an IMU system to evaluate spinal mobility in axSpA. These systems are more feasible than optical motion capture systems, and they could be useful in clinical practice.

Aiming at the human–computer interaction control (HCIC) requirements of multi operators in collaborative virtual maintenance (CVM), real-time motion capture and simulation drive of multi operators with optical human motion capture system (HMCS) is proposed. The detailed realization process of real-time motion capture and data drive for virtual operators in CVM environment is presented to actualize the natural and online interactive operations. In order to ensure the cooperative and orderly interactions of virtual operators with the input operations of actual operators, collaborative HCIC model is established according to specific planning, allocating and decision-making of different maintenance tasks as well as the human–computer interaction features and collaborative maintenance operation features among multi maintenance trainees in CVM process. Finally, results of the experimental implementation validate the effectiveness and practicability of proposed methods, models, strategies and mechanisms.
