Hand Pose Estimation by Fusion of Inertial and Magnetic Sensing Aided by a Permanent Magnet
Tracking human body motions using inertial sensors has become a well-accepted method in ambulatory applications since the subject is not confined to a lab-bounded volume. However, a major drawback is the inability to estimate relative body positions over time because...
