A Simple Algorithm for Assimilating Marker-Based Motion Capture Data During Periodic Human Movement Into Models of Multi-Rigid-Body Systems.
Human movement analysis is often performed with a model of multi-rigid-body system, whereby reflective-marker-based motion capture data are assimilated into the model for characterizing kinematics and kinetics of the movements quantitatively. Accuracy of such analysis is limited, due to motions of the markers on the skin relative to the underlying skeletal system, referred to as the soft tissue artifact (STA). Here we propose a simple algorithm for assimilating motion capture data during periodic human movements, such as bipedal walking, into models of multi-rigid-body systems in a way that the assimilated motions are not affected by STA. The proposed algorithm assumes that STA time-profiles during periodic movements are also periodic. We then express unknown STA profiles using Fourier series, and show that the Fourier coefficients can be determined optimally based solely on the periodicity assumption for the STA and kinematic constraints requiring that any two adjacent rigid-links are connected by a rotary joint, leading to the STA-free assimilated motion that is consistent with the multi-rigid-link model. To assess the efficiency of the algorithm, we performed a numerical experiment using a dynamic model of human gait composed of seven rigid links, on which we placed STA-affected markers, and showed that the algorithm can estimate the STA accurately and retrieve the non-STA-affected true motion of the model. We also confirmed that our STA-removal processing improves accuracy of the inverse dynamics analysis, suggesting the usability of the proposed algorithm for gait analysis.
