Kinematics

These routines facilitate the calculation of 3d movement kinematics.

Functions

General

• kinematics.vel2quat() ... Calculate orientation from a starting orientation and angular velocity.
• kinematics.getXSensData() ... Read in Rate and stored 3D parameters from XSens IMUs

Optical Systems

• kinematics.analyze3Dmarkers() ... Kinematic analysis of video-basedrecordings of 3D markers
• kinematics.movement_from_markers() ... Calculation of joint-movements from 3D marker positions

IMUs

• kinematics.acc_gyr() ... Calculate orientation and position, from angular velocity and linear acceleration
• kinematics.kalman_quat() ... Calculate orientation from IMU-data using an Extended Kalman Filter
